Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

(Figure)
The instrument features a variety of accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns (called "Styles") in a variety of different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many others. Each Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting you produce automatic accompaniment 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.

Playing with a Style
1	Press one of the STYLE category selection buttons to call up the Style Selection display.
(Figure)
2	Press one of the [A] – [J] buttons to select the desired Style.
Pressing one of the [1 Up] – [4 Up] buttons or pressing the same STYLE button again calls up other display pages (when available).
(Figure)

Playing Only the Rhythm Parts of a Style
A Style contains eight parts (page 67). You can start only the Rhythm parts by pressing the STYLE [START/STOP] button. To stop playback, press the same button again.
(Figure)
NOTE
The rhythm does not sound for some Styles. However, when you use one of these Styles, you will hear all other parts (except rhythm) played back in step 5.

3	Confirm that the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is on (the lamp is lit).
If set to off (the lamp is not lit), press the button to turn it on.
(Figure)
4	Press the [SYNC START] button to enable synchronized start.
(Figure)
5	As soon as you play a chord (page 60) with your left hand, all parts of the selected Style start.
Try playing chords with your left hand and play a melody with your right along with the rhythm.
When the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is on, the specific left-hand section of the keyboard can be used as 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.

NOTE
You can transpose the Style (accompaniment). See page 50.

Style Characteristics
The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated on the Preset Style icon.
(Figure)
Pro
These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and harmonies/voicings are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
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 programmed 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 inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment.
Pianist
These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns.

Chords
For users who are unfamiliar with chords, this handy chart features common chords for your quick reference. Since there are many useful chords and many different ways to use them musically, refer to commercially available chord books for further details.

Changing the Chord Fingering Type
By changing the Chord Fingering type, you can automatically produce appropriate accompaniment even if you don't press all of the notes which comprise a chord. 
1	Call up the operation display.
1 [FUNCTION] | 2 TAB [Left][Right]  MENU1 | 3 [A] SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING | 4 TAB [Left][Right]  CHORD FINGERING
(Figure)
2	Press the [1 Up Down] – [3 Up Down] buttons to select the desired Fingering Type.
(Table)
Single Finger	Lets you easily play chords in the accompaniment range of the keyboard using only one, two or three fingers. This type is available only for Style playback.

(Figure) Major chord
Press the root key only.
(Figure) Minor chord
Simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
(Figure) Seventh chord
Simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
(Figure) Minor seventh chord
Simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
Multi Finger	Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types.
Fingered	Lets you finger your own chords on the chord section of the keyboard, while the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recognizes the various chord types which are listed on the separate Data List booklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function shown in the same display.
Fingered On Bass	Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play "on bass" chords. (In the Fingered mode, the root of the chord is always used as the bass note.) 
Full Keyboard	Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands — for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right. 
AI Fingered	Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).
Only in the Piano Room, your performance in the Chord section produces the sound of the selected Voice as well as that of the accompaniment.
AI Full Keyboard	When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don't have to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for Style playback.
(Table End)
When the Chord Detection Area (page 69) is set to "Upper," Fingering type is set to "Fingered*" automatically, and the Chord section is set to the right of the left split point.

Chord Tutor
If you know the name of a chord but don't know how to play it, the Chord Tutor function conveniently shows you which notes to play.
On the CHORD FINGERING display above, specify the Chord Root and Chord Type by using the [6 Up Down] –[8 Up Down] buttons. The notes you need to play are shown in the display.

A Style contains eight parts: RHY1 (Rhythm 1) – PHR2 (Phrase 2) below. The performance data of each part is played back in the corresponding channel. You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by selectively turning channels on/off as the Style plays.

Style channels
RHY1/2 (Rhythm 1/2)
These are the basic parts of the Style, containing the drum and percussion rhythm patterns.
BASS
The bass part uses various appropriate instrument sounds to match the Style.
CHD1/2 (Chord 1/ 2)
These are rhythmic chord backing parts, commonly used with piano or guitar Voices.
PAD
This part is used for sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir, etc.
PHR1/2 (Phrase1/2)
These parts are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.
