*1 Press at the beginning of a song. Accompaniment play proceeds with the normal pattern after the intro pattern is complete. Pressing the 4 (VARIATION/FILL-IN) button before pressing this button will proceed with the variation pattern after the intro pattern is complete.

*2 Press while a normal pattern is playing to insert a fill-in pattern.

*3 Press while a variation pattern is playing to insert a fill-in variation pattern.

*4 Press at the end of a song.

This will play an ending pattern and then stop Auto Accompaniment.

Using One-Touch Presets

One-Touch Preset gives you one-touch access to tone and tempo settings that go well with the currently selected Auto Accompaniment rhythm pattern.

1. Hold down the bl (RHYTHM) button for at least two seconds.

This will configure tone, tempo, and other settings to match the currently selected rhythm pattern. At this time, Auto Accompaniment play also will go into synchro standby, which means that Auto Accompaniment will start to play automatically when you finger a chord.

2. Play a chord on the keyboard.

This will start Auto Accompaniment play.

NOTE

•One-Touch Presets are not supported for user rhythms (001 through 010 of the USER RHYTHMS group).

Using Auto Harmonize

Auto Harmonize lets you add harmony to melody notes you play with your right hand. You can select any one of 12 Auto Harmonize settings.
