The Concert Performer contains nearly 400 built-in Styles for you to play along with, covering a wide variety of
musical genres. You can choose from a simple drum or percussion accompaniment or add in a fully orchestrated
arrangement. In addition to the Full Styles which provide a full musical arrangement including Drums, Bass, and
other accompanying instruments, there are Intimate Styles with Solo Piano Styles if you just want to play along with
a piano accompaniment. If the on board variety of styles is not enough, or if you have creative ideas of your own,
the CP contains other features such as Style Maker and Conductor to help you edit or create your own custom
Styles. These features are explained in the section of this manual “Creating Your Own Styles”, page 75.
