Style Variations (Sections) - Yamaha PSR-E283 Reference Manual

Playing Along with Rhythm and Auto Accompaniment (Styles)

Style Variations (Sections)

Each Style consists of "Sections" that allow you to vary the
arrangement of the accompaniment to match the song you
are playing. These instructions cover a typical example for
using the Sections.
•
Intro
Used when starting a performance. Once the Intro has finished
playing, it will move on to the Main part. The number of bars in
• the Intro varies depending on the Style.
Main
Used when playing the Main part of the Song. It will play
repeatedly until you press another Style control button !2 . There
are two variations, A and B, and they are played according to the
chord played with your left hand.
•
Fill-in (Auto fill)
• This is automatically inserted when Main A and B switch.
Ending
Used at the end of a performance. At the same time as Ending
playback ends, Style playback also ends. The number of bars in
the Ending varies depending on the Style.
