Auto Accompaniment

Example:

To play the chord C major.

Any of the fingerings shown in the illustration below will produce C major.

Using a Fill-in Pattern

Fill-in patterns let you momentarily change the rhythm pattern to add some interesting variation to your performances.

The following procedure describes how to use the Fill-in feature.

To insert a fill-in

•As with the FINGERED mode (page E-31), you can play the notes that form a chord in any combination (1).

•When the lowest note of a chord is separated from its neighboring note by six or more semitones, the lowest note becomes the bass note (2).

Using an Intro Pattern

This keyboard lets you insert a short intro into a rhythm pattern to make startup smoother and more natural.

The following procedure describes how to use the Intro feature. Before starting, you should first select the rhythm you want to use, set the tempo, and use the MODE button to select the chord play method you want to use (NORMAL, CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD).

1. Press the START/STOP button to start rhythm play.

2. Select the fill-in variation you want.

•To insert Fill-in 1, press the VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 button while Variation 1 of the rhythm is playing.

•To insert Fill-in 2, press the VARIATION/FILL-IN 2 button while Variation 2 of the rhythm is playing.

•Only the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button is operational while an intro is playing.

•Holding down the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT or VARIATION/ FILL-IN 1/2 buttons causes the fill-in pattern to repeat.

Using a Rhythm Variation

In addition to the standard rhythm pattern, you can also switch to a secondary “variation” rhythm pattern for a bit of variety.

To insert an intro

1. Press INTRO/ENDING button 1 or 2.

•With the above setup, the intro pattern is played and the auto accompaniment with intro pattern starts as soon as you play chords on the accompaniment keyboard.

•The standard rhythm pattern starts to play after the intro pattern is complete.

To insert the variation rhythm pattern

1. Press the START/STOP button to start rhythm play.

2. Press the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button.

•If a Variation 1 rhythm is currently playing, this plays Fill-in 1, followed by Fill-in 2, and then switches to the Variation 2 rhythm.

•If a Variation 2 rhythm is currently playing, this plays Fill-in 2, followed by Fill-in 1, and then switches to the Variation 1 rhythm.

•Holding down the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button causes the fill-in pattern to repeat.
