AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT (AUTO BASS CHORD) - Most rhythm styles have their own
auto accompaniment, dedicated to that rhythm style. These auto accompaniments create
fully orchestrated rhythm, bass and chord progressions based on the chords that you play
with your left hand. The selected rhythm style determines the characteristics of the auto
accompaniment. The auto accompaniment section of the keyboard is assigned by the split
point, the G2 key. The keys on the left of the split point are reserved for the auto accompa-
niment. The keys to the right are available for normal playing.
Please note, the L1 and L2 orchestration parts will not be available when the auto accom-
paniment is engaged. Please see the Orchestration section of this manual for more infor-
mation.
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT - This piano has two auto accompaniment
fingering modes, single and fingered.
1. Slide the ACCOMP CHORD control until the indicator is in the
location corresponding to the fingering mode you want.
2. Press the START/STOP or the SYNCH START buttons to start the
rhythm style, or press the INTRO/ENDING button to start with an
introduction. Depending on the mode, you can play chords in the
auto accompaniment section of the keyboard as described later in
this section of the manual. The auto accompaniment will start
with the percussive rhythm as soon as a recognized chord is
played. Slide the ACCOMP button to the OFF position, and only
the percussive rhythm, without the auto accompaniment will
sound. The introduction, ending and variation are still available.
3. Press the START/STOP or the SYNCH START buttons to stop the
accompaniment, or press the INTRO/ENDING button to stop with
an ending.
