PATTERNS — THE STYLE MODE

The Style mode provides a wealth of exciting, dynamic patterns — including

rhythms, beats, and instrumental parts — covering virtually the entire spec-

trum of dance and contemporary music!

A total of 100 different styles are available, in a variety of dance music genres.  Each style is made

up of separate “sections” — Lead In, Beat A and B (with Break Outs), and Lead Out — letting you

call up different sections as you perform.  Each style also has its own “companion” voice selection

— so that when you select a style, the best matching voice for that style is automatically called up.

The pattern features that are built into the styles give you the excitement of full instrumental

backing for your performance.  They also make it possible to easily control the backing bass,

chords, and other phrases — just by playing single notes or chords in the PATTERN section of the

keyboard.  (See pages 50.)
