Accompaniment

Keys

You can set the Concertmate 575 to play these two types of auto-accompa- niment using those keys.

•Easy Random Fingering — lets you play chords on the accompa- niment keys using chord forma- tions of one to four notes. The number of keys you press deter- mines the type of chord that plays (see “Easy Random Fingering”).

•Standard Fingering — lets you play chords on the accompani- ment keys using standard chord formations of three or four notes (see “Standard Fingering” on Page 16).

Note: You can use FILL-INwith both types of auto-accompaniment.

Easy Random Fingering

The easy random fingering method lets beginning keyboard players easily select and play a chord — the number of accompaniment keys you press de- termines the type of chord played.

The following table shows the types of chords you can play with easy random fingering, when you press one, two, three, or four accompaniment keys at the same time.

Number
of Keys	Chord Type
Pressed
1	Major

2Minor (m)

3Dominant Seventh (7)

4Minor Seventh (m7)

Notes:

•The lowest note you play deter- mines the key of the chord. For example, if the lowest note is C, the Concertmate 575 plays a C chord.

•You can press any labeled note(s) to the right of the lowest note in the chord to produce a minor, sev- enth, or minor seventh chord.
