Accompaniment Program The AR-100 features two powerful rhythm/accompaniment programming functions: Accompaniment Program and Sequence Program. The Accompaniment Program function lets you create up to eight of your own original User Styles, each of which includes rhythm patterns, bass and chord parts, and other instrumental phrases. Moreover, you can create up to five different sections for each Style: Intro, Main A and B, Fill In, and Ending. The true power and flexibility of this feature, however, is that the original User Styles can be used with the A.B.C. automatic accompaniment, so that when you play or indicate chords on the Lower keyboard, your custom-recorded accompaniment changes chords automatically. The AR-100 lets you store up eight User Styles for instant recall. However, you can save additional User Styles to floppy disks - letting you create an unlimited library of Styles for future use. When recording a User Style, you can select an existing Style and customize it for your own requirements, or create a completely new Style from scratch. Calling Up the Accompaniment Program Function When editing an existing Style: 1. Select a Style. Press the appropriate button in the STYLE section, then select a specific Style from the Style Menu. Selecting a preset Style for Accompaniment Program is a quick and efficient way to create your own User Styles, since it lets you make changes to already existing patterns and phrases. 122 9.
