Style Variations

Each Style consists of the Sec-
tions below that allow you to vary
the arrangement of the accompa-
niment to match the song you are
playing. These instructions cover a typical example for using the Sections.
INTRO
This is used for the beginning of the Song. When the Intro finishes. Style Play-
back shifts to the Main section.
MAIN
This is used for playing the main part of the Song. Playback of the Main section
repeats indefinitely until another Section's button is pressed. There are two vari-
ations (A and B), and the Style playback sound changes harmonically in
response on the chords you play with your left hand.
AUTO FILL
This is the short phrase (fill-in) automatically added before changing to Main A
or B.
ENDING
This is used for the ending of the Song. When the Ending finishes, the Style
playback stops automatically.
