Playing with Rhythm and Auto Accompaniment (Styles)

This instrument is equipped with rhythms and accompaniment patterns in a variety of
genres, called Styles. You can use the Auto Accompaniment (ACMP) function for a Style to
play the appropriate accompaniment simply by playing chords with your left hand. This
allows you to enjoy being accompanied by a band or orchestra, even when you are playing
alone.
