Style Types (Characteristics)
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.
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.
+Audio (PSR-S950): Indicates the Audio Style. For more information on Audio Styles, refer to the Owner’s
Manual.
