Bass function (page 48), you

Style Characteristics
The Style types and their defining characteristics are indicated above
the Style name on the Style Selection display or the Main display.
• Adaptive: see page 53
• Unison: see page 50
• DJ: The DJ Styles contain their own special chord progressions, so you can add chord changes to your
performance simply by changing the root key. The Multi Pad (page 59) data in the “DJ Phrase” folder are
specially created for these Styles.
For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

they will be saved in the SFF GE format when the file is saved (or pasted) in this instrument. Please keep in
mind that the saved file can only be played back on instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format.
