Playing along with auto‑accompaniment
Auto-accompaniment is a function that automatically plays
accompaniment to match the chord that you specify. The EK-50
features accompaniment paerns in various styles, such as
dance, rock, jazz, Latin and so on. These paerns are called
styles.
There are over 280 styles, divided into 17 groups.
Playing with a style you choose
The sounds used in a style (auto-accompaniment) are assigned
to four parts (drums, percussion, bass and other parts).
Together, these four parts are called an accompaniment part.
