With Auto Accompaniment, simply select the accompaniment rhythm you want and the matching accompaniment (drums, guitar, etc.) will play automatically when you play a chord with your left hand. It’s like having your own personal backup group along with you wherever you go.

This Digital Keyboard has 200 built-in Auto Accompaniment patterns, which are divided into five groups. You can edit built-in rhythms to create your own original rhythms (called “user rhythms”), which you can save in a sixth group. For more information, see the separate “Appendix”.

Playing an Auto Accompaniment

1.Refer to the separate “Appendix” to look up the group and the number of the rhythm you want to use.

2.Use the buttons from L-4 ([A] POPS/ROCK/ DANCE) to L-9 ([F] USER RHYTHMS) to select a rhythm group.

•The L-9 ([F] USER RHYTMS) button is for the user rhythm group. For details, see “Using the Rhythm Editor” (page E-29).

3.Use the dial to scroll through the rhythm numbers until the one you want is displayed.

Example: Group B, Number 005

•You can also use the R-14(–, +) buttons to select a rhythm number. Holding down either button will scroll through rhythm numbers at high speed. Pressing both of the R-14(–, +) buttons at the same time will select 001 in the currently selected group.

4.Use the L-11 (TEMPO w) and L-12 (TEMPO q) buttons to adjust the tempo setting.

5.Press the L-18 (ACCOMP ON/OFF) button so the D indicator is on the display.

•Each press of the button toggles accompaniment between on (D indicator displayed) and off (indicator not displayed).

•All accompaniment instrument parts sound while accompaniment is on (D indicator displayed), while only percussion instrument parts (drums, etc.) sound while accompaniment is off (indicator not displayed).
