– 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
accompaniment 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.
