Choosing a music style and playing

Instead of choosing a style, you can select a music style and
then play or record.
A music style is based on a style, but is optimized to include
a keyboard set that easily matches the mood of existing songs,
and contains other settings like tempo.
You can use music styles when playing music from your
favorite genre.
Note:
The keyboard sets of music styles cannot be changed or
saved to a set list.
