4.Select an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode (BASIC, FINGERED or PIANIST).
•After a few seconds, the display returns to the previous display.
•If the BASIC or FINGERED mode was selected, the keyboard automatically splits into right and left sections.
MEMORY
When the MEMORY button is ON, even when the keys are released, the chord is memorized and the accompaniment continues to play until you specify another chord.
ON BASS
If the ON BASS button is ON while the FIN- GERED or PIANIST mode is selected, the BASS part is produced in the key of the lowest note of the played chord, thus making it possible to play chords such as C on G.
•For example, with the ON BASS button on, if you play a C chord by pressing the keys G, C and E, the BASS part is produced in the key of G.
5.Press the START/STOP button to begin the rhythm.
•You can start the rhythm by playing a key on the keyboard. (Refer to page 51.)
6.Specify a chord.
•If the ONE FINGER or FINGERED mode was selected, specify the chord on the keyboard section to the left of the split point.
•An accompaniment pattern in the specified chord is automatically played. Play the melody with your right hand.
•When you use FILL IN, INTRO and ENDING, the automatic accompaniment is also used in these patterns.
•In the ONE FINGER mode, the sound as- signed to the left section of the keyboard (LEFT part) does not sound in the initialized condition.
•You can set the mode which determines how the LEFT part sounds during an AUTO PLAY CHORD performance. (Refer to the next page.)
•In the initialized condition, when the rhythm is off, if an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is on and a chord is specified, the specified root note (R. BASS part) and chord notes (CHORD part) are produced. The volumes of these notes can be adjusted. (Refer to page 29.)
7.To stop the automatic accompaniment, press the START/STOP button.
•If you wish the automatic accompaniment to begin and end the performance, set the OFF/ON button to off.
