Selecting and Playing Styles —
The Style Mode
The Style mode provides dynamic rhythm/accompaniment patterns — as well
as voice settings appropriate for each pattern — for various popular music
styles.
A total of 100 different styles are available, in several different categories. Each style is made up of
separate “sections” — Intro, Main A and B (with 4 Fill-ins), and Ending — letting you call up differ-
ent accompaniment patterns as you perform.
The auto accompaniment features that are built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental
backing to your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto
accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard into two sections: The upper is used for playing a
melody line, and the lower (labeled “ACMP” below the keyboard) is for the auto accompaniment
function.
Selecting and Playing a Style
Select the Style mode.
Press the STYLE button.
Select the desired style number.
Use the numeric keypad. Available styles are listed at the center
of the panel.
Style numbers can be selected in the same way as with the
voices (see page 16). You can use the numeric keypad to
directly enter the style number, use the +/- keys to step up and
down through the styles, or press the STYLE button to advance
through the style numbers.
