STEP 3 • Play Using a Style
Quick Guide
Each style includes a number of “sections” that can be used to add variation to your performance. The sec-
tions are described below.
● INTRO Section
This section provides an ideal introduction for the selected style. Playback automatically switches to the
MAIN section once the INTRO has finished. The length of the introduction varies from style to style.
● MAIN Section
This section is used for the main body of your song. The MAIN section — a 2 ~ 4 measure pattern —
will repeat continuously until you select a different section. The MAIN section has “A” and “B” varia-
tions which will be automatically arranged to match the left-hand chords you play.
● FILL IN Section
The FILL IN section can be used to add a fill-in or “break” to your performance. If you press the [MAIN/
AUTO FILL] button during playback the AUTO FILL section will play through once, then playback will
automatically revert to the MAIN A or B section. If MAIN A was playing before the fill in, MAIN B will
begin playing after the fill in, and vice versa.
● ENDING Section
Adds an appropriate ending to the auto accompaniment. Style playback will stop when the ENDING
section has played all the way through. The length of the ENDING section varies from style to style.
