Using The Style Sections - Yamaha EZ-220 Owner's Manual

Using the Style Sections

The instrument features a wide variety of Style "Sections" that allow you to vary the
arrangement of the accompaniment to match the music you are playing.
 INTRO
This is used for the beginning of your performance.
When the Intro finishes, Style playback shifts to the
Main section. The length of the Intro (in measures)
differs depending on the selected Style.
 ENDING
This is used for the ending of your performance.
When the Ending finishes, Style playback stops
automatically. The length of the Ending (in mea-
sures) differs depending on the selected Style.
