Playing Styles
Quick Guide 30
Style Sections
Each style in the auto accompaniment is made up of “sections.” Since each section is a rhythmic variation of the basic
style, you can use them to add spice to your performance and mix up the beats — while you’re playing. Intros, Endings,
Main patterns, and Breaks — they’re all here, giving you the dynamic elements you need to create professional-
sounding arrangements.
1 - 3
Use the same operations as in “Playing a style” on pages 28 and 29.
4
Press the [INTRO] button.
5
As soon as you play a chord with your left hand, the Intro starts.
For this example, play a C major chord (as shown below).
When the playback of the intro is finished, it automatically leads into main section.
6
Press any of the MAIN [A] to [D] buttons or [BREAK]
button as desired. (See the Accompaniment Structure
on the next page.)
7
Press the [AUTO FILL IN] button to add a fill-in, if
necessary.
Fill-in patterns play automatically between each change in
the Main sections.
8
Press the [ENDING] button.
This switches to the ending section. When the ending is
finished, the style automatically stops.
INTRO This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the
main section.
MAIN This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures,
and repeats indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed.
BREAK This lets you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your
performance sound even more professional.
ENDING This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops
automatically.
