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).
In this section we’ll learn how to use the auto accompaniment features.
Most styles includes a rhythm part. You can select from a wide variety of rhythmic types—rock, blues, Euro
trance, and many, many more. Let’s begin by listening to just the basic rhythm. The rhythm part is played
using percussion instruments only.
