With Auto Accompaniment, simply select an accompaniment pattern. Each time you play a chord with your left hand the appropriate accompaniment will play automatically. It’s like having a personal backup group along with you wherever you go.

Auto Accompaniments are made up of the following three parts.

(1)Rhythm

(2)Bass

(3)Harmony

You can have only the rhythm part play, or you can have all three parts play at the same time.
