Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment (Styles)

This instrument includes the Auto Accompaniment feature that automatically plays appropriate “Styles” (rhythm + bass + chord

accompaniment), controlled simply playing chords with your left hand. You can select from a huge variety of Styles covering a

wide range of musical genres.

Press the [STYLE] button.

Use the number buttons [0]–[9]

or [+]/[-] buttons to select the

desired Style, referring to the

Style List on page 41.

Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button

to turn on the Auto Accompani-

ment.

With this operation, the area of the key-

board to the left of the Split Point (054:

F#2) becomes the “Auto Accompani-

ment range” and is used only for speci-

fying the chords.

The highest key for the Auto Accompaniment range is referred to as the

“Split Point,” which can be changed from the default of F#2 via Function

number 005 (page 32).

Press the [SYNC START] button

to turn Synchro Start on.

Play a chord in the Auto Accom-

paniment range to start play-

back.

Play a melody with the right hand and

chords with the left hand.

For information about chords, refer to

“Chord Types for Style Playback”

(page 27).

Press the [START/STOP] button to stop play-

back.

You can add intro, ending and rhythm variations

to Style playback by using “Sections.” For details,
