Accompaniment Variations
Specially created variation patterns can be added into the accompani-
ment, making your performance more professional and personalized.
INTRO
The Intro is the opening section of a song. When the Intro pattern is
finished, it will automatically shift to the selected Main section. The
length of the Intro section differs depending on the selected style.
MAIN
The Main is the principal section of a song. It will play and repeat the
Main pattern until another section's button is pressed.
FILL IN
The Fill-in will automatically add a fill to your performance. When the
Fill-in pattern is finished, it will shift to the related Main section.
ENDING
The Ending is the ending section of a song. When the Ending pattern
is finished, the accompaniment will stop as well.
The length of the Ending section differs depending on the selected
style.
Note:
During style playback, if you press and hold one of the MAIN [A]-[D]
buttons, the Fill-in pattern will repeat until the button is released.
Playback will then switch to the related Main section.
Chord Basics
A chord, in music, is a harmonic set of three or more notes that are
heard simultaneously. The most common type of chord is a triad. A
triad is a set of three notes that can be stacked in thirds. When
arranged this way, the triad's notes, from lowest pitched to highest, are
called: the Root, the Third, and the Fifth.
Triad Type
The basic triad types are as follows:
Chord Inversion
When a chord’s root is not the lowest note in the triad, it is called an
inversion chord. When the root note is the lowest note, it is called a
root-position chord. If we put the Third and Fifth in the root position, it
forms an “Inversion”, so it is called an “Inverted Chord”. A major triad
and its inversion are illustrated on the right.
Chord Name
The chord name consists of two parts: Chord root and Chord type.
Major Triad
Minor Triad
Augmented
