Auto Accompaniment

Using a Fill-in Pattern

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

Using a Break

A break inserts a moment of silence into a rhythm/auto accompaniment pattern. Pressing the BREAK button stops the rhythm/auto accompaniment pattern until the beginning of the next measure, when the pattern starts to play again.

To insert a fill-in

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

2. Press the FILL-IN button to insert a fill-in pattern for the rhythm you are using.

Using the Variation Patterns

Each rhythm/auto accompaniment pattern has two different variations. You can vary the mood of your music by switching to a different variation while rhythm/auto accompaniment play is in progress.

ŠSelect a rhythm and adjust its tempo.

ŠUse the MODE button to specify the chord fingering mode you want to use.

ŠListen to the two variations available for the rhythm you are using to get some idea of what they sound like.

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

ŠIt does not make any difference which VARIATION 1/2 button is depressed at first.

2.Press another VARIATION button to switch to a different variation of the same rhythm.

ŠWhen you press a VARIATION button the change to the new rhythm variation is performed in time with the beat of the rhythm.

Using Synchro Start

Synchro Start lets you set up the keyboard so rhythm and chord accompaniment starts automatically when you press keys inside the accompaniment keyboard range.

ŠSelect a rhythm and adjust its tempo.

ŠUse the MODE button to specify the chord fingering mode you want to use.

1. While the rhythm is not playing yet, press the SYNCHRO START/STOP button.

ŠThis causes the left lamp above the button to light, indicating that the keyboard is in synchro start standby.

2.Press one of the VARIATION 1/2 buttons to select the rhythm variation you want to start with.

3.Play a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range.

ŠBoth rhythm and chord accompaniment starts at the same time. The lamp above the SYNCHRO START/STOP button goes out when the rhythm/ auto accompaniment starts.

ŠOnly the rhythm sounds if no lamp above the MODE button is lit.

ŠIf you press the INTRO button so the lamp above it is lit before step 2 of the above procedure, playing a chord causes accompaniment to start after the corresponding intro pattern is played.

ŠPressing the SYNCHRO START/STOP button again while the keyboard is in synchro start standby exits synchro start standby, which causes the lamp above the SYNCHRO START/STOP button to go out.
