Adding Accompaniment to Your Performance
Playing Along with a Rhythm
Let’s look at how to set up and play rhythm backings.
About the FP-50’s rhythm
The FP-50 can automatically match its rhythmic
accompaniment to the chords that you play on the
keyboard. This feature is called “rhythm.”
The FP-50 contains 90 built-in rhythms in various musical
styles, such as jazz and rock.
Rhythms include not only drum sounds, but also
accompaniments featuring instruments such as piano,
guitar, bass, and strings.
You can also add intros and endings to your rhythms, and
insert fill-ins. These features make it easy to develop effective
and expressive rhythmic accompaniment.
