Playing Auto Accompaniment - The Style Mode The Style mode provides rhythm/accompaniment patterns for various popular music styles, as listed on the panel. A total of 100 different Styles are available. Each Style is made up of different "sections" - Intro, Main A and B, four Fill-ins, Ending, and Jam Track - letting you call different accompaniment patterns as you perform. Each Style's Jam Track section features specially programmed chord progressions and section changes that are ideal for the selected musical Style. If you're a novice and not familiar with playing chords, the convenient Jam Track section automatically plays stylistically appropriate chord and section changes for you to "jam" over. The Auto Accompaniment features that are built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. NOTE • The default split point for the Auto Accompaniment section is 54 (F 2). However, this can be changed in the Style Sub Menu. (See page 26.)
