Style Characteristics
On the Style Selection display, icons defining the Style characteristics are indicated at left of the Style name.
• Audio (CVP-709 only): Refer to the Owner’s Manual.
• Pro: These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The resulting
accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmonies
are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
• Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and
changes, as well as special riffs 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.
• Pianist: These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords with your left
hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns.
