Playing Styles
This instrument has an auto accompaniment feature that produces
accompaniment ( bass + chords) in the style you choose to
match chords you play with your left hand. You can select from 160 dif-
ferent styles covering a range of musical genres and time signatures
(see page 134 for a complete list of the available styles).
