Style numbers can be selected in the same way as with the voices (see page

Start the accompaniment.
You can do this in one of the following ways:
Pressing the START/STOP button
The rhythm starts playing immediately without bass and chord
accompaniment. The currently selected Main A or B section will play.
You can select the Main A or B section by pressing the appropriate
button — MAIN A or MAIN B — before pressing the START/STOP
button. (The icon section of the display briefly shows the letter of the
selected section: “A” or “B.”)
Using Sync-Start
The PortaTone also has a Sync-Start function that allows you to start
the rhythm/accompaniment by simply pressing a key on the key-
board. To use Sync-Start, first press the SYNC-START button (the
beat bars below the style name all flash to indicate Sync-Start stand-
by), then press any key on the keyboard. (When auto accompani-
ment is on, play a key or chord in the auto accompaniment section of
the keyboard.)
