Playing Styles

The instrument features a variety of accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns
(called "Styles") in a variety of different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many
others. Each Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting you produce automatic
accompaniment playback simply by playing "chords" with your left hand. This lets you
automatically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra — even if you're playing by
yourself.

NOTE
• You can also play the Styles in the instrument's flash
memory area transferred from a computer (refer to "Com-
puter-related Operations"—page 8) or loaded from a
USB flash drive (page 86), and Styles on a USB flash
drive connected to the instrument. These styles are num-
bered from 206 upward.
Playing only the Rhythm Part
Pressing the [START/STOP] button starts playback
of only the rhythm part. To stop playback, press the
[START/STOP] button again.
Keep in mind that some Styles, such as "PIANIST"
category Styles, have no rhythm part. These Styles
produce no sound even if you press the [START/
STOP] button. When you want to use any of these
Styles, always execute step 3 and later so that all
accompaniment parts will sound.
