Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions

Play a Style with Chords but No Rhythm (Stop Accompaniment)

When auto accompaniment is on (the ACMP ON icon is showing) and Synchro Start is off, you can play chords in the left-hand accompaniment range of the keyboard while the style is stopped and still hear the accompaniment chords. This is “Stop Accompaniment”, and any of the chord fingerings recognized by the instrument can be used (page 24).

Press the [STYLE] button to engage the style function, then press the [ACMP ON/ OFF] button.

Playing Styles Using the Entire Keyboard

In “Play Along with a Style” on page 20 we described a method of playing styles in which chords were detected only to the left of the keyboard split point. By making the settings described below, however, chord detection for style accompaniment occurs over the entire range of the keyboard, allowing for even more dynamic style performance. In this mode only chords played in the normal way (page 24) can be detected.
