Play a Style with Chords but No
Rhythm (Stop Accompaniment)
When auto accompaniment is on (the ACMP ON icon
is showing) and Synchro Start is off, you can play
chords in the left-hand accompaniment range of the

accompaniment chords. This is "Stop Accompani-
ment", and any of the chord fingerings recognized by
the instrument can be used (page 29).
Press the [STYLE] button to engage the
