The defining characteristics of these Styles and their performance advantages are described below. • 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 programmed 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 inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment. • DJ: These Styles can be selected from the category called up via the [DANCE & R&B] button. These contain their own special chord progressions, so you can add chord changes to your performance simply by changing the root key. Keep in mind, however, that you cannot specify the chord type, such as major and minor, when using the DJ Styles. • Unison: These Styles are compatible with the Unison & Accent function. Unison & Accent gives you expressive and nuanced control over Style playback, making it closely follow your performance. Moreover, the composition of Style playback changes subtly according to the accents of your performance, letting you create various musical variations in the accompaniment. For the Preset Style List, refer to the Data List on the website. 22 PSR-SX600 Reference Manual

Style Types (Characteristics)
The particular type of Style is indicated at the upper left of the Style name in the main display or the Style Selection
display. The defining characteristics of these Styles and their performance advantages are described below.
•
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 programmed 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 inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment.
•
DJ:
These Styles can be selected from the category called up via the [DANCE & R&B] button. These contain their own
special chord progressions, so you can add chord changes to your performance simply by changing the root key.
Keep in mind, however, that you cannot specify the chord type, such as major and minor, when using the DJ Styles.
•
Unison:
These Styles are compatible with the Unison & Accent function. Unison & Accent gives you expressive and
nuanced control over Style playback, making it closely follow your performance. Moreover, the composition of Style
playback changes subtly according to the accents of your performance, letting you create various musical variations
in the accompaniment.
