Playing a Rhythm

Using Auto Accompaniment

With Auto Accompaniment, the digital piano automatically plays rhythm, bass, and chord parts in accordance with chords you select using simplified keyboard fingerings, or chords you play. Auto Accompaniment makes it feel like you have your own private backup group with you all the time.

NOTE

•With the rhythms listed below, make sure that CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected as the Auto Accompaniment mode before you try playing chords. The percussion sounds will sound at lower volume while no chord is fingered on the keyboard.
