Reference
Each Style consists of "Sections" that allow you to
vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to
match the song you are playing.
 INTRO
This is used for the beginning of the Song. When the
Intro finishes, Style playback shifts to the Main sec-
tion. The length of the Intro (in measures) differs
depending on the selected Style.
 MAIN
This is used for playing the main part of the Song.
Playback of the Main section repeats indefinitely until
another Section’s button is pressed. There are two
variations (A and B), and the Style playback sound
changes harmonically in response on the chords you
play with your left hand.
 AUTO FILL
This is automatically added before changing to Main
A or B.
 ENDING
This is used for the ending of the Song. When the
Ending finishes, the Style playback stops automati-
cally. The length of the Ending (in measures) differs
depending on the selected Style.
