Auto Accompaniment

FINGERED

In this mode, you specify chords by playing them as you would on a piano, inside the accompaniment keyboard range. To specify a C-chord, you would play C-E-G.

FULL RANGE CHORD

This mode can be used to play up to 238 different types of chords. Pressing three or more keys in a pattern that is recognized as a chord pattern by the keyboard causes the corresponding chord to be played. Playing chords in a pattern not recognized by the keyboard or pressing two keys or one key causes the corresponding notes to be played as melody notes. This means that the entire range of the keyboard acts as both a melody keyboard and accompaniment keyboard.

ŠOn the keyboard shown above, Lower1 and Lower2 are assigned to the accompaniment keyboard range and Upper1 and Upper2 are assigned to the melody keyboard range.

ŠWhen split is turned off (page E-20), the accompaniment keyboard range keys do not sound any melody notes. In this case, they are used to specify chords for the accompaniment pattern.

ŠYou can expand the range of the accompaniment keyboard by moving the keyboard’s split point to the right (page E-20).

Recognized Chords

See the “Fingered/Full Range Chord Table” at the back of this manual (page A-12) for information about the chords that can be recognized in the Fingered Mode.

ŠThe chords that are recognized by the keyboard in the FINGERED Mode depend on the current “On Bass Chord”, “6th Chord”, and “Tension Chord” Accomp settings. See “Keyboard Settings” on page E-71 for information about Accomp settings. Information about how settings affect the type of chords recognized by the keyboard can be found “Fingered/Full Range Chord Table” at the back of this manual (page A-12).

ŠIn the FINGERED Mode, you can use standard fingering (C-E-G for a C-chord, for example) or you can use inverted fingerings (G-E-C, for example), as long as you play chords within the accompaniment keyboard range. Note, however, that using an inverted fingering will produce a different chord entirely if the “On Bass Chord” Accomp setting is turned on.

ŠGenerally, you must press all of the keys that make up chords. Omitting a note or playing only a single note will not produce a chord.
