Style (Auto Accompaniment) Functions

Various ways to start and stop Style playback

Starting Style playback

The following three methods can be used to start Style playback. In all cases you will need to press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn auto accompaniment on before actually starting Style playback. Whichever method you choose, you can press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] before starting playback. To begin your performance, an introduction will play automatically, then will automatically switch to the MAIN section when finished.

Immediate Start

Press the [START/STOP] button to begin rhythm-only playback of the selected Style.

The bass and chords will begin playing as soon as you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard.
