Styles (Auto Accompaniment)

This instrument includes an auto-accompaniment feature that plays
appropriate "styles" (rhythm + bass + chord accompaniment) when you
play left-hand chords. 135 different styles covering a wide range of
musical genres are provided (see page 102 for a complete style list).
Here's how you can use the auto-accompaniment feature.

style number and name
is displayed here.
NOTE
• Since style number 112 and the
pianist category styles (124 –
135) have no rhythm parts, no
sound will be produced if you
start rhythm-only playback. To
use these styles turn the auto-
accompaniment and play on the
keyboard as described on page
33 (the bass and chord accom-
paniment parts will sound).
NOTE
• If "ACMP" is not showing in the
display press the [ACMP ON/
OFF] button so that it appears.
The [ACMP ON/OFF] button
alternately turns auto-accompa-
niment on and off.
