Arranging the Style Pattern
The PF-1000 features various types of Auto Accompaniment Sections that allow you to
vary the arrangement of the Style. They are: Intro, Main, Break and Ending. By switching
among them as you play, you can easily produce the dynamic elements of a professional-
sounding arrangement in your performance.
