With Auto Accompaniment, simply select an accompaniment
pattern. Each time you play a chord with your left hand the
appropriate accompaniment will play automatically. It’s like
having a personal backup group along with you wherever
you go.
•
Auto Accompaniments are made up of the following three
parts.
(1) Rhythm
(2) Bass
(3) Harmony
You can have only the rhythm part play, or you can have all
three parts play at the same time.
The rhythm part is the foundation of each Auto
Accompaniment. Your Digital Keyboard comes with a variety
of built-in rhythms, including 8-beat and waltz. Use the
following procedure to play the basic rhythm part.
