Playing Auto Accompaniment - The Style Mode; Selecting A Style And Playing An Auto Accompaniment - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-220 Owner's Manual

Playing Auto Accompaniment —
The Style mode provides rhythm/accompaniment patterns for various popular music styles, as listed on the panel.
A total of 100 different Styles are available. Each Style is made up of different "sections" — Intro, Main A and B,
four Fill-ins, Ending, and Jam Track — letting you call different accompaniment patterns as you perform.
Each Style's Jam Track section features specially programmed chord progressions and section changes 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 and section 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.
