Auto Accompaniment

The auto accompaniment feature puts a full backing band at your
fingertips. To use it, all you have to do is to play the chords with your
left hand using your selected accompaniment style, and then the
accompaniment will automatically play along, instantly following the
chords you play. With auto accompaniment, even a solo performer can
enjoy playing with the backing of an entire band or orchestra. This
keyboard features 200 styles in a variety of musical genres. Try to
select some of the different styles (refer to Style List) and enjoy the auto
accompaniment feature.
