The CP remembers the last Style selection that you made within each category while the power

is on. When you press a STYLE button, the CP will automatically select the Style previously

chosen in the same category.

When you switch from one Style to another while it is running, the new Style will wait until the

beginning of the next measure before it begins to play.

Fill-In and V

ariation

Each Style is made of four Variation patterns and four Fill-in patterns.

Fill-ins are short patterns that temporarily embellish the Style. Fill-ins can add excitement and

rhythmic change to the Style and be used as a musical lead in between the Variations. T

o use a Fill-

in, just press one of the FILL IN buttons. You will hear the fill-in begin playing immediately from a

musically appropriate spot.

Fill-ins can also be used as a short intro. First press the SYNC/FADE OUT button then press one of

the FILL-IN buttons to select a desired Fill-in. Press any key on the keyboard to start the style. After

the Fill-in plays, the selected Variation will play

.

To select a V

ariation, press one of the four V

ARIATION buttons to select the desir

ed Variation. The

Selected VARIA

TION button LED will light.

You can set the CP to automatically play a Fill-in anytime you press a V

ARIATION button as you

switch from one Variation to another

. Select your preferred option in the Fill-in mode. (See page

Auto Accompaniment System

The Auto-accompaniment System (ACC) is a powerful feature that determines how the Styles will

interact with you as you play. The ACC System analyzes your playing and adjusts the notes the

Style plays to follow the Chords that you play on the keyboard. The ACC System is capable of

recognizing single finger as well as more complex chord voicings. The CP recognizes 61 chord

types as well as most of their inversions. (See page 158 for a chord table.) There are three modes of

key recognition—One Finger, Fingered, and Full Keyboard. Y

our choice of which mode to use

depends on your skill level and the selected musical style.
