Auto Accompaniment Pattern Variations

Generally, the progress of a musical piece starts with an intro,
transitions to verses that are interspersed with interludes and
other changes, and then returns to the main theme before
reaching an ending. The Digital Piano's Auto Accompaniment
function provides a selection of accompaniment patterns that
are suited to the progress of a musical composition.
■ Normal and Variation

verse or chorus of a piece. A variation repeats anywhere from
one measure to multiple measures.
