Auto Accompaniment
Using Auto Harmonize
If you have two tones (Upper1, Upper2) layered on the keyboard, harmonize notes are added to both.
When you are using auto accompaniment, auto harmonize automatically adds an additional note to your melody in accordance with the chord that is being played. The result is a harmony effect that makes your melody line richer and fuller.
Auto harmonize is enabled only when the auto accompaniment mode is Fingered or CASIO Chord.
To use Auto Harmonize
1. Use the MODE button to select FINGERED or CASIO CHORD as the accompaniment mode.
2. Press the AUTO HARMONIZE button to turn on auto harmonize.
This causes the button’s indicator lamp to light, indicating that auto harmonize is turned on.
At this point you could use the [] and [
] buttons or the selector dial to select the type of auto harmonize you want to use. See “Auto Harmonize Types” below for more information.
The display exits the auto harmonize setting screen if you do not perform any operation for about 10 seconds. You can also exit the auto harmonize setting screen by pressing the EXIT/ NO button.
3.Start auto accompaniment play, and play something on the keyboard.
Harmonize notes are added automatically to the notes you play in the melody keyboard range.
