Style Functions In the section "Try out the Style" (page 30) of the Quick Guide, we introduced you to the basic operations of the auto accompaniment styles. Here, we'll explain some interesting and useful ways of sounding the styles, and ways to adjust the accompaniment level and the chords. Sounding only the percussion You can have just the percussion parts of the accompaniment play by pressing the [ACMP ON/OFF] button-so that auto accompaniment is OFF (the ACMP display is unlit)-and starting the style. Playing the keyboard sounds the Main Voice with no bass or chord sounds, even when playing in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. NOTE • The explanations here are applicable only when the [STYLE] button is turned on. • The special Pianist styles do not have any percussion parts. The ACMP display goes out. Stop Accompaniment function When auto accompaniment is turned on (the ACMP display is lit) and Synchro Start is off (the [START/STOP] button does not flash), you can play chords in the left-hand (accompaniment) section of the keyboard with the style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition - called "Stop Accompaniment" - any valid chord fingerings (page 48) are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the LCD. Since the PSR-K1 properly recognizes the chord, you can also use the Harmony effect (page 44) without having to play back a style. NOTE • The explanations here are applicable only when the [STYLE] button is turned on. Setting the Style Volume ᕡ Enter the FUNCTION display by pressing the [FUNCTION] button and call up the Style Volume page by using the CATEGORY buttons [ ]/[ ]. ᕢ Set the style volume (range: 000 - 127). f r NOTE • The explanations here are applicable only when the [STYLE] button is turned on. Using external Style Files Style number 136 is specially reserved for use with external Style Files, designated with the ".sty" file extension. Save the desired Style File to SmartMedia card using a computer (with an appropriate SmartMedia reader/writer) and load the Style File from the SmartMedia card to style number 136 on the instrument.
