Playing with Styles—Setups

Style Characteristics
The particular type of Style is indicated the upper left of the Style name in the Style Selection display. The dening
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 ris 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.
• Free Play: These Styles are characterized by rubato performance. You can perform freely with remarkably expressive
accompaniment, without being constrained by a strict tempo.
For the Preset Style List, refer to the Data List on the website.
A Style generally consists of eight parts (channels): rhythm, bass, etc. You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by
selectively turning channels on/o or by changing the Voices (page92).
In some particular Styles, some sections consist of only rhythm parts to showcase their musical characteristics. For details, refer to
the Data List on the website.
