Press the [SYNC START] button.
The [START/STOP] button flashes. (Synchro Start is set to stand-by.)
6
Start the style and accompaniment by playing a chord (in
the “auto accompaniment” area of the keyboard).
Even if you don’t know how to play a chord, you can easily play the accompani-
ment! Simply use the “single finger” method (page 48) to play chords. And if
you want to learn chords, use the convenient Chord Dictionary (page 50). Just
specify the chord name, and it shows you what keys to play.
7
Try playing along with the style.
While playing chords with your left hand (in the “auto accompaniment” area of
the keyboard), play a melody with your right.
The [START/STOP] button flashes in time with the rhythm. (First beat in red,
other beats in blue.)
Each style has two main patterns: A and B. Pressing the [MAIN/AUTO FILL]
button switches between the two patterns, automatically playing a special fill-in
to lead into the change.
8
To stop the style, press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.]
button.
The style stops after a special ending pattern plays—providing a
dynamic finish for your song or performance.
This concludes the basic introduction to auto accompaniment. In the next section,
we’ll look at some more ways to enjoy the auto accompaniment features.
