Selecting And Playing A Style - Auto Accompaniment (Acmp); Playing A Melody With Your Right Hand And Playing Chords With Your Left Hand - Yamaha TYROS Owner's Manual

Quick Guide
Selecting and Playing a Style
The auto accompaniment (style playback) feature puts a full
backing band at your fingertips. To use it, all you have to do
is play the chords with your left hand as you perform and
the selected accompaniment style matching your music
will automatically play along, instantly following the chords
you play. With the auto accompaniment (style playback)
function, even a solo performer can enjoy playing with the
backing of an entire band or orchestra.
The TYROS features a variety of accompaniment styles
(rhythm patterns) in a variety of different musical genres.
Try out the different styles on your own — checking the
style name printed above each STYLE button on the panel,
or referring to the style list in the separate Data List booklet.
