Quick Guide Selecting and Playing a Style-Auto Accompaniment (ACMP) Pattern Variation (Sections) The Tyros2 features a wide variety of style "sections" that allow you to vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to match the song you are playing. They are: Intro, Main, Fill-in, Break and Ending. By switching among them as you play, you can easily produce the dynamic elements of a professional-sounding arrangement in your performance. NOTE • Depending the selected style, not all sections may have data. The lamp of the section button that contains data lights in green, and the lamp of the section button that contains no data does not light (page 79). ● INTRO This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, style playback shifts to the main section. The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending on the selected style. The Tyros2 also features three different intros. ● MAIN This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays a rhythm pattern of several measures, and repeats indefinitely until another section's button is pressed. There are four variations on the basic pattern, A-D and the style playback sound changes harmonically based on the chords you play with your left hand. ● FILL IN The fill-in sections let you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional. Turn the [AUTO FILL IN] button on, simply press one of the MAIN (A, B, C, D) buttons as you play, and the selected fill-in section plays automatically (AUTO FILL), spicing up the auto accompaniment. When the fill-in is finished, it leads smoothly into the selected main section (A, B, C, D). There are four variations for the fill-in sections, each specially programmed to match the selected main section. Even when [AUTO FILL] is turned off, pressing the same button of the currently playing section automatically plays a fill-in before returning to the same main section. ● BREAK This lets you add dynamic breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional. ● ENDING This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the style playback stops automatically. The length of the ending (in measures) differs depending on the selected style. The Tyros2 features three different endings. 1-4 Select the desired style using the steps described on page 31. 5 Turn [AUTO FILL IN] on. 6 Press any of the [INTRO] buttons. 7 As soon as you play a chord with your left hand, the Intro of the selected style starts. For this example, play a C major chord (as shown below). Split Point Chord section When the playback of the intro is finished, it automatically leads into the main section. 8 Press any of the accompaniment section buttons as desired. (See the Accompaniment Structure Diagram on the next page.) After the corresponding Fill-in is played back, it automatically leads to the main section. 9 Press any of the [ENDING] buttons. This switches to the ending section. When the ending is finished, style playback automatically stops. 34 Tyros2 Owner's Manual
