Before you compose a Style

 

For each of the three principal chords (Major, minor, and 7th), 
each Style contains four variations each for intro, main, fill-in, 
and ending, giving a total of 48 accompaniment patterns. 
Each accompaniment pattern is called a “division.”

In the STYLE COMPOSER screen you can check whether or not 
a division exists.

 

The STYLE COMPOSER screen will appear.
In this screen you can select the division that you want to 
edit or record.

 

You can also access the STYLE COMPOSER screen from the 
Main screen by holding down [STYLE].
