The PSR-2100/1100 features various types of Auto Accompaniment Sections that allow
you to vary the arrangement of the Style. They are: Intro, Main, Break and Ending. By
switching among them as you play, you can easily produce the dynamic elements of a
professional-sounding arrangement in your performance.
