Style Mode
4.
With the rhythm running, you’re ready to try out the
Auto Accompaniment feature. Try playing a few
single notes with your left hand, and notice how the
bass and chord accompaniment change with each
key you play. (Refer to the boxed sections on pages
10 and 11 for more information on how to use Auto
Accompaniment.)
5.
Use the TEMPO buttons to change the tempo of the
Style as it’s playing. (For more information on the
Tempo functions, see page 7.)
6.
While the Style is playing, you can add variation to the
rhythm by playing special Fill In patterns. To play a
Fill In pattern, press the SYNC-START/FILL IN button.
NOTE
The Fill In pattern may not play precisely when you press the
SYNC-START/FILL IN button, but instead starts on the beat
immediately following your press of the button. Also, depending
on when you press the button, only a portion of the Fill In might be
played. Both of these situations are normal and are done to ensure
that the Fill In pattern complements the basic rhythm, rather than
disrupting it.
7.
To stop the rhythm, press the START/STOP button
again.
Pressing the START/STOP button while the rhythm is
playing produces a simple ending phrase. This also
applies to playing Jam Track patterns in the Song
mode.
The Style mode provides dynamic rhythm/
accompaniment patterns — as well as Voice settings
appropriate for each pattern — for various popular
music styles, as listed on the panel. A total of 100
different Styles are available, and are divided into ten
different categories. Each rhythm pattern also has a
specially created companion Fill In pattern, which can
be played by using the SYNC-START/FILL IN button.
Auto Accompaniment features 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 “AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT
SECTION” on the keyboard, including keys C1
through F2) is for the Auto Accompaniment function.
Selecting a Style
1.
Press the STYLE button to select the Style mode.
2.
Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired Style
number.
3.
You can start the selected rhythm by pressing the
START/STOP button.
The PortaTone also has a Synchro Start function that
allows you to start the rhythm by simply pressing a
key on the keyboard. To use Synchro Start, first press
the SYNC-START/FILL IN button, then press one of
the keys in the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT SECTION.
NOTE
Synchro Start is automatically set to stand-by when you select the
Style mode. (The dots in the MULTI DISPLAY flash to indicate
stand-by status.)
