Performing with automatic accompaniment

When using the Automatic Accompaniment function, you can simply specify a chord from the
keyboard, and an accompaniment appropriate for that chord will be added automatically.
A variety of accompaniment styles are provided, including [PIANIST] (which mainly uses piano
sounds suitable for a piano performance), and styles such as pops, rock, jazz, and dance music.
These accompaniments are called "rhythm styles" (a total of 217 styles are provided), and are
organized into ten rhythm style groups.
A Rhythm Style consists of six musical tracks: Drum (a conventional drum set as used in popular
music), Perc (all percussion instruments other than drums), Bass (the low-range instrument), and
Acc1–3 (accompaniment instruments).
