Play with a Style

Pattern Variation (Sections)

The instrument features a wide variety of Style "Sections" (patterns) that allow you to vary the
arrangement of the accompaniment to match the Song you are playing.
Adding an Intro
Pressing the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button before playing back the
Style automatically adds a short introduction before starting the
actual (Main) rhythm.
When the intro finishes playing, Style playback shifts to the Main
Section.
Adding an Ending
Press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button to begin playing an ending
Section. Playback will stop when the ending has played all the way
through.
If you press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button a second time (while
the ending is playing) the ending will play ritardando (the tempo will
gradually get slower).
