Style Types (Characteristics)
The particular type of Style is indicated above the Style name on the Style Selection display or the Main
display. The defining characteristics of these Styles and their performance advantages are described below.
• Adaptive: These Styles can be used with the Adaptive Style function in which the Main variation changes
automatically depending on how dynamically you play the keyboard—without your needing to press the
MAIN VARIATION buttons. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
• Unison: These Styles can be used with the Unison & Accent function, which lets you play in unison and/or
add accents during Style playback. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
• Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types
and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been pro-
grammed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain
genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically
correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for
a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropri-
ate or unexpected accompaniment.
• Free Play: These Styles are characterized by rubato performance. You can perform freely with remarkably
expressive accompaniment, without being constrained by a strict tempo.
• DJ: These Styles contain their own special chord progressions, so you can add chord changes to your perfor-
mance simply by changing the root key. The Multi Pad data in the “DJ Phrase” category are specially cre-
ated for these Styles. You can call up the suitable Multi Pads by using the OTS Link function.
