Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions

Basic operation of the Style (auto-accompaniment) feature is described on page 29 of the

Quick Guide.

Here are some other ways you can play the styles, the style volume adjustment procedure,

how you can play chords using the styles, and more.

The initial default split point is key number 54 (the F#2 key), but you can change it to another key using the procedure

described below.

1 Press the [STYLE] button or the [EASY

SONG ARRANGER] button.

2 Press and hold the [ACMP ON/OFF] for

longer than a second so that the FUNCTION

display Split point item appears.

3 Use the dial or the [0] – [9] number buttons

to set the split point to any key from 000 (C-

2) through 127 (G8).

Style playback is alternately turned on and off each time the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

If you use the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn style playback off, only the rhythm (percussion) parts will play when

the style is started.
