Playing Backing Parts with the Performance Assistant Technology
This feature lets you play your own backing parts on the keyboard along with Song playback, and have them
sound perfectly appropriate (even though you might be playing wrong notes).

Select a Song containing chord data.
The Performance Assistant Technology is applied only to a Song containing chord data. To confirm
whether the selected Song contains chord data or not, return to the Main display then start playback. If the
current Song contains chord data, the Main display shows the current chord type. After stopping playback,
go to the next step.
