Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

The powerful Unison & Accent function gives you expressive and nuanced control over Style playback, making it
closely follow your performance and letting you create various musical variations in the accompaniment. With the
Unison
function turned on, you can play a melody and have it reproduced in unison (i.e., the same melody is
performed by two or more instruments) or tutti (i.e., all players perform at the same time) — expressively enhancing
your performance and letting you create dynamic phrases. With the
Accent
function turned on, the composition of
Style playback changes subtly, adding notes according to the accents of your performance. This allows you to
temporary change the Style playback to include rhythmic syncopation. For the Styles to which this function can be
used, refer to the Data List on the website.

[MENU] → TAB [E] Menu1 → the Cursor buttons [][][E][F] Style Setting → [ENTER] → TAB [E]

2 Use the [1 ] – [6 ] buttons to set each parameter.
For more information about the Unison & Accent function, refer to the Reference Manual on the website, Chapter 2.
Letting Style playback follow your performance (Unison & Accent)
[1 ] Unison On/Off Turns the Unison function on/off.
When this function is on during Style playback, each part of Style follows your performance
as a unison phrase. This is useful for emphasizing melodic phrases or creating dynamic breaks
in your performance.
NOTE
You can use a connected pedal to conveniently turn the Unison function on/off as you perform. To assign the function
to a pedal, press the [4 ] (Pedal Function) buttons to call up the display for pedal settings, and then select
“Unison.” For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website, Chapter 9.

Unison Type Determines the Unison type.
•
All Parts
:
Suitable for a one-hand performance. In this type, all the accompaniment parts follow
your performance. This is recommended when playing unison phrases with only one hand.
• Split: Suitable for a both-hands performance. In this type, with the keyboard divided by the
Split Point (Left), the accompaniment parts suitable for each hand follow your performance
independently. For example, low-pitched sound musical instruments (such as bass guitar,
baritone saxophone, and contrabass) follow the left hand, and solo musical instruments (such
as flute) follow the right. It is useful for playing with different Voices between left-hand and
right-hand.
•
Auto Split
:
Suitable for a both-hands performance. In this type, the accompaniment parts that
follow your performance are automatically assigned to each hand by automatically detecting the
appropriate left-hand and right-hand sections from your performance. This is recommended
when playing tutti with Voices having a wide range, such as piano or strings. It enables enormous
flexibility in your performance, freeing you from the limitations of a specific Split Point.
For information on setting the Split Point, refer to page 57.

• Medium: Standard setting.
• Low: Allows this instrument to recognize accents even with relatively light playing strength.
