– Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –
The instrument features various accompaniment and rhythmic
backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of different musical
genres including pop, jazz, and many others. The Style features
Auto Accompaniment, letting you produce automatic accom-
paniment playback simply by playing “chords” with your left
hand. This lets you automatically recreate the sound of a full band
or orchestra
even if you’re playing by yourself.
1 Press one of the STYLE category selection buttons to call up
the Style Selection display.
2 Press one of the [A] – [J] buttons to select the desired Style.
You can call up the other pages by pressing the buttons that correspond to the
page numbers (P1, P2 ...) or by pressing the same STYLE category selection
button several times.
3 Press the [ACMP] button to turn on the Auto Accompaniment.
The specific left-hand section of the keyboard (page 58) becomes the chord
section, and chords played in this section are automatically detected and used as
a basis for fully automatic accompaniment with the selected Style.
