Styles (Auto Accompaniment) and Riyaz patterns

Riyaz Variations

Each Riyaz features five Variations A–E via the Tabla/
Mridangam sound. These five variations can be alter-
nated via the [A]–[E] buttons during playback, allow-
ing you to add dynamic variations to the performance.
In addition, four phrase variations via the Tanpura
sound are provided commonly for all the Riyaz pat-
terns. These four variations can be alternated via the
[TANPURA 1]–[TANPURA 4] buttons.
Unlike the Styles, the Riyaz patterns do not have the
variations dedicated to the beginning or ending of the
Song, such as Intro and Ending.
The Riyaz playback will continue until stopped manu-
ally.
