“Styles” (rhythm + bass + chord accompaniment). You can select from a huge variety

of Styles covering a wide range of musical genres.

dial to select the desired Style.

The Style List is provided on the front panel, or in

on the Auto Accompaniment.

With this operation, the area of the keyboard to the
