Playing Along with Rhythms
“Session Partner” Lets You Enjoy Playing with a Session-Like Feel
“Session Partner” is an easy-to-use function that plays rhythm in a variety of musical
styles. Playing along with this accompaniment, with its realistic sounds, gives you the feel
that you are playing live with a band backing you.
For example, you can practice the piano in a different way than usual by playing along
with Session Partner instead of a metronome.
You can also change the accompaniment as you like to suit whatever you are playing.
By changing the chords and Rhythms, even while playing the same melody, you can
easily create all kinds of new arrangements.
We encourage you to enjoy the variety of performance options open to you by using the
“Session Partner” feature.
What You Can Do with “Session Partner”
“Session Partner” lets you mainly do the following things.
• Play piano with a session-like feel along with Rhythms while the chord progression continues
automatically (p. 67).
• Play the piano to provide your own accompaniment as you specify chords with the left hand
(the left part of the keyboard) (p. 73).
• Enjoy freer piano performances using your own original chord progressions (p. 76).
“Session Partner” lets you add accompaniment with the “rhythms” and performance parts
you select.
You can play intros, endings, and fill-ins (short phrases inserted at transition points in the
song) by pressing buttons as you play the keyboard.
What are the FP-7’s “Rhythms?”
The FP-7 features internal “Rhythms” complementing Pops, Jazz, and other various
musical genres.
“Rhythms,” or combinations of elements from a musical genre that recreate the mood or
signature sound of a particular style, form the foundation of the accompaniment used in
“Session Partner.”
A “Rhythm” is composed from the following three items.
Drums Part
Bass Part
Accompaniment Part (except drum and bass part)
