Playing with Rhythm and Accompaniment (Styles)
This instrument includes an Auto Accompaniment feature that automatically plays
appropriate “Styles” (rhythm + bass + chord accompaniment), controlled simply by
playing only root note or all notes of a chord with your left hand.
You can select how you want to play the chords from two ways: “Smart Chord,” which
lets you play chords by playing a key with only one finger, and “Multi Finger,” which lets
you play them normally, with all the constituent notes.
How you play the chords when playing Styles is
called “Fingering Type,” which can be specified via
Function number 017 (page 61). With this instrument,
you can choose from two Fingering Types.
Smart Chord (Default setting)
You can play the Style by playing only the root
note of a chord.
Multi Finger
This is a way to play the Style by playing all notes
of a chord. However, major, minor, seventh, and
minor sevenths can also be easily played by
pressing one to three keys.
For information about chords, refer to “Chord Types
for Style Playback” (page 47) or use the Chord Dic-
tionary function (page 49).
