NOTE
• Since the pianist styles (128 ~
140) and the guitar serenade
style (121) have no rhythm
parts, no sound will be pro-
duced if you start rhythm-only
playback. To use these styles
turn the style on and play on
the keyboard (the non-rhythm
accompaniment parts will
sound). Refer to page 19 for
information on turning styles on
and off.
