Just by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns. 18 DGX-670 Reference Manual

Style Types (Characteristics)
The particular type of Style is indicated above (or in the icon at the left of) the Style name on the Style
Selection display or the Main display. The defining characteristics of these Styles and their performance
advantages are described below.
•
Adaptive
: These Styles can be used with the Adaptive Style function in which the Main variation changes
automatically depending on how dynamically you play the keyboard—without your needing to press the
MAIN VARIATION buttons. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
•
Unison
: These Styles can be used with the Unison & Accent function, which lets you play in unison and/or
add accents during Style playback. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
•
Session
: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types
and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been pro-
grammed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain
genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically
correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for
a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropri-
ate or unexpected accompaniment.
•
Pianist
: These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords with
your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord pat-
terns.
