Selecting and Playing Styles —
The Style mode provides dynamic rhythm/accompaniment patterns — as well as Voice settings
appropriate for each pattern — for various popular music styles, as listed on the panel.
A total of 100 different Styles are available, in fifteen
different categories. Each Style is made up of different
"sections" — Intro, Main A and B, 4 Fill-ins, Ending, and
Jam Track — letting you call up different
accompaniment patterns as you perform.
Each Style's Jam Track section features specially
programmed chord progressions and accompaniment
that are ideal for the selected musical Style. If you're a
novice and not familiar with playing chords, the
convenient Jam Track section automatically plays
stylistically appropriate chord changes for you to "jam"
over.
The Auto Accompaniment features that are built into the
rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to
your performance, letting you control the
accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto
Accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard into two
sections: The upper is used for playing a melody line,
and the lower (labeled "AUTO ACCOMP SECTION") is for
the Auto Accompaniment function.
