Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment (Style)

This instrument includes the Auto Accompaniment feature that automatically plays

appropriate "Styles" (rhythm + bass + chord accompaniment), controlled simply play-

ing chords with your left hand.

You can select how you want to play the chords from two ways: "Smart Chord," which

lets you play chords by playing a key with only one finger, and "Multi Finger," which lets

you play them normally, with all the constituent notes.

The explanations here apply when playing Styles with "Smart Chord." If you want to

play all the notes of the chords yourself, set the Fingering Type to "Multi Finger."

Press the [STYLE] button.

Select your desired Style (page 14).

Set the Function Setting "Smart Chord

match the key signature of your music
