Basic Operation
The auto accompaniment feature puts a full backing band at your
fingertips. To use it, all you have to do is play the chords with your left
hand as you perform and the selected accompaniment style matching
your music will automatically play along, instantly following the chords
you play. With auto accompaniment, even a solo performer can enjoy
playing with the backing of entire band or orchestra. The instrument
features 100 styles in a variety of different musical genres. Try
selecting some of the different styles (Refer to Style List) and play with
the auto accompaniment.
