The particular type of Style is indicated at the upper left of the Style name in the Style Selection display. The defining
characteristics of these Styles and their performance advantages are described below. For the Preset Style List, refer to the
Data List on the website.
• Pro
These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The resulting
accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmonies are
instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
• Session
These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as
well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a
professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the
Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically correct—for all songs and for all chord playing.
In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or
playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment.
• DJ
These Styles can be selected from the category called up via the [DANCE] button.
These contain their own special chord progressions, so you can add chord changes to
your performance simply by changing the root key. The Multi Pad (page 76) data in
the “DJ Phrase” folder are specially created for these Styles. You can call up the
suitable Multi Pads by using the One Touch Setting function (page 54).
