2-2 Style Play
Selecting Styles
This unit comes with numerous internal Styles. The Styles are divided by genre into twelve groups.
These groups are called "Style Groups."
Selecting a Style Group
als
Press the Style Group button.
The button's indicator will go on, and the "Style Select screen," like the one shown below, will
appear in the display.
Selecting a Style
There are numerous Styles in each Style group. After choosing a Style group, let's choose a Style from
the Style Select screen.
2.
Select a Style by pressing the buttons to the side of the display screen.
The name of the Style selected will be highlighted in the display.
Try playing the keyboard to confirm that the tone indeed has been changed to the one you select-
ed.
The Style Select screen is composed of multiple pages. Use the <Page ® > and <q Page> but-
tons to bring up other pages to the screen.
. Let's try Playing the Lower Keyboard
When you press a key, the Style will begin to play.
When you want to try out a number of different Styles from one Style group, pressing the [Hold] button
will fix the Style Select screen in the display window, so it becomes unnecessary to press the same Style
group button over and over, making this procedure very convenient.
When you are in One Touch Arranger play, each time you change Styles, "Sync Start with Intro" goes
into standby. (p.34)
The number of Styles in each group varies. For a look at the number of Styles, Style names, etc., please
refer to the "Style List" (p.75).
When the Style is not playing, chord tones will be expressed when played on the Lower keyboard.
Starting and Stopping Styles
Besides being able to start and stop Styles in the usual way, you can also start Styles with musical
introductions ("intros") and finish them up with special endings. Intros and endings with phrasing
that best matches the selected Style are played.
You can also start a Style Playing when you press keys in the Lower (left hand) part. (p.34) This is
called "Sync Start."
*
You can also select only a Style's rhythm to play along with by starting the Style while the keyboard is
not in Arranger mode.
