AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

 

Each of the 100 percussive rhythm styles has its own auto accompaniment, dedicated to that style. These 

auto accompaniment patterns 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 accompaniment produced is perfectly matched to the selected rhythm style.  

For auto accompaniment modes the keys are divided into two sections at the auto accompaniment split point.

The keys to the left of this point are defined as the accompaniment section of the keyboard.

 

Please note,

 the keyboard and accompaniment volumes can adjusted independently from each other and

the master volume by using the KBD.VOL and ACC.VOL buttons with the DATA WHEEL.

SPLIT POINT FOR AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

For auto accompaniment, the keyboard is split into two sections. The default split point is the G2 key. A 

different split point for the auto accompaniment can be assigned in the Function menu. 

Please see the Function section of this manual for more information.

CHORD/O.T.S.

 

The CHORD button 

must

 be engaged for the auto accompaniment to be available. Press, don't hold,

the CHORD/ O.T.S.  button so the indicator is lit to engage the auto accompaniment mode. 

Please see Using the Auto Accompaniment.

Press and hold the CHORD/ O.T.S. button to toggle the O.T.S, or one touch setting, on and off. The

display will indicate when the feature has been activated and/or canceled. This convenient feature

automatically selects the most suitable voice and various panel settings for you when you select a

rhythm style and it's corresponding auto accompaniment.

THE AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT FINGERING MODE

The auto accompaniment, or auto bass chord, fingering modes of this piano are 

single

 or 

fingered.

 The 

default setting is the fingered mode. The fingering mode is assigned in the Function menu. 

Please see the Function section of this manual for more information.

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

SINGLE MODE

Single, or intelligent, fingering mode makes it simple to produce four types of orchestrated 

accompaniment chords using a minimum of fingers, while playing in the auto accompaniment section of 

the keyboard. 

In this mode, keys in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard are used to produce major, 

seventh, minor, and minor-seventh chords, the keys are not available for normal playing. The auto 

accompaniment will start with the percussive rhythm as soon as a key in the auto accompaniment 

section is played. 

Please refer to Using the Auto Accompaniment. 

FINGERED MODE

The fingered mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on the keyboard. It allows you to 

play the chords in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard that produce the selected auto 

accompaniment pattern. The auto accompaniment will start as soon as a recognized chord is played in 

the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard, the keys are not available for normal playing.  

Please refer to Using the Auto Accompaniment.

Please note,

 if a chord played cannot be recognized (fingered beyond the table), the previous chord 

will keep playing. An unrecognized chord cannot start the auto accompaniment. 

Please see the Auto Accompaniment Fingering Guide table at the back of this manual for a list of all the 

32 playable chords of this mode.

 Press any key in the auto

accompaniment section of the keyboard. The

key you press determines the root note of the

major chord.

black key to its left in the auto accompaniment

section of the keyboard simultaneously to
