Styles
– Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –
The instrument features various accompaniment and rhythmic
backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of different musical
genres including pop, jazz, and many others. The Style features
Auto Accompaniment, letting you produce automatic accom-
paniment playback simply by playing “chords” with your left
hand. This lets you automatically recreate the sound of a full band
or orchestra
—
even if you’re playing by yourself.
