selecting a Style changes the sounds of the accompa-
niment sections only.
Styles - Auto-Accompaniment
What are the Styles?
Styles are a collection of musical patterns representing many types of music, rang-
ing from rock and pop to traditional and ethnic music. The GK330 contains 96 differ-
ent auto-accompaniment Styles that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated ar-
rangements. The sophisticated Auto Accompaniment system can provide automated
bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accompaniment
Style. The Styles a formed by 5 sections, or tracks, that generate the automatic
arrangements: Drums, Bass and 3 Accomp, and an additional two tracks, Upper and
Lower, for the keyboard sounds. The automatic arrangements are triggered by play-
ing chords (fingered or one-finger) on the lower part of the keyboard below the split
point.
