Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment (Style)
This instrument includes an Auto Accompaniment feature that automatically plays
appropriate “Styles” ( bass + chord accompaniment), controlled simply by
playin
g
root notes or chords with your left hand.
You can select how you want to play the chords from two ways: “SmartChord,” which
lets you play chords by playin
g
a key with only one fin
g
er, and “Multi,” which lets you
play them normally, with all the constituent notes.
When playing the Styles, specify how to play chords
in the Auto Accompaniment range via “FingType”
(“Fingering Type” Function 017; page 53). With this
instrument, you can choose from two fingering types.
“SmartChord” (Default settin
g
)
You can play the Style by playing only the root
note of a chord.
“Multi”
This is a way to play the Style by playing all notes
of a chord. However, major, minor, seventh, and
minor sevenths can also be easily played by
pressing one to three keys.
For information about chords, refer to “Chord Types
for Style Playback” (page 26) or use the Chord Dic-
tionary function (page 28).
