Playing Styles
This instrument has an auto accompaniment feature that produces
accompaniment (rhythm + bass + chords) in the style you choose to
match chords you play with your left hand. You can select from 160 dif-
ferent styles covering a range of musical genres and time signatures
(see page 130 for a complete list of the available styles).
In this section we’ll learn how to use the auto accompaniment features.
Most styles includes a rhythm part. You can select from a wide variety of rhythmic types—rock, blues, Euro
trance, and many, many more. Let’s begin by listening to just the basic rhythm. The rhythm part is played
using percussion instruments only.

style number 161 can be
selected and used in the same
way as the internal styles. The
style file must be loaded into
style number 161 after transfer-
ring it to the instrument from a
computer, or after connecting a
USB flash memory device con-
taining the style file to the instru-
ment. File transfer instructions
can be found on page 104, and
