About Auto Harmonize notes and tones

Using the Metronome

The notes you play on the keyboard are called “melody notes”, while the notes added to the melody by auto harmonize are called the “harmonize notes”. Auto harmonize normally uses the tone you selected for the melody notes as the tone for the harmonize notes, but you can use the mixer (page E-46) to specify a different tone for the harmonize notes. Harmonize tones correspond to mixer auto harmonize 1 and

2.This means you can specify the harmonize tones by changing the tones assigned to auto harmonize 1 and 2.

In addition to the tone, you can also use the mixer to change a number of other parameters, such as volume balance. See “Changing the Parameters of a Part” on page E-47 for details on these procedures.

ŠThe default harmonize note tone when you first turn on auto harmonize is the same tone as the melody note tone.

ŠChanging the melody tone setting automatically changes the harmonize note tone to the same setting.

The metronome feature of this piano produces a bell sound for the first beat of each measure, followed by click sounds for each successive beat of the measure. It is the perfect tool for practicing tunes without accompaniment (rhythm).

2. Use the [] and [] buttons to select the beat setting you want.

ŠYou can also change the beat setting by rotating the selector dial.

ŠThe bell (indicating the first beat of a measure) does not sound while “0” is specified. All beats are indicated by a click sound. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without worrying about how many beats there are in each measure.

ŠAvailable choices for the meter are 0, 2/4 to 7/4, plus 9/4, 12/4, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, or 12/8 time.
