Styles
– Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –
The instrument features a variety of 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.
Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along
with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind,
however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels.
1 Press one of the STYLE category selection buttons to call up
the Style Selection display.
2 Press one of the [A] – [J] buttons to select the desired Style.
Pressing one of the [1▲] – [4▲] buttons or pressing the same STYLE button
again can call up the other display page.
3 Confirm that the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is off.
Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style
NOTE
The rhythm does not sound for some
Styles. When you want to use any of
these Styles, always make sure that
[ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on.
