(Refer to the information on transferring data on page 67 and registering styles on page 54.) You can play Style Files in the same way that you play the internal styles.

NOTE

Since the Pianist category Styles (098–106) have no rhythm parts, no sound will be produced if you start rhythm-only playback. To use these Styles, turn on the auto accompaniment and play the keyboard as described on pages 21–22. (The bass and chord accompaniment parts will sound.)
