AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — THE STYLE MODE
Style numbers can be selected in the same way as with the voices (see page
28). You can use the numeric keypad to directly enter the style number,
use the +/- keys to step up and down through the styles, or press the STYLE
button to advance through the style numbers.

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.)
