Chapter 2 Using Automatic Accompaniment

Adding Automatic Accompaniment to Regular Piano Performance (Piano Style Arranger)

Usually, with an automatic accompaniment performance, the accompaniment is sounded by the chords you specify on the left-hand section of the keyboard, with the melody played on the right-hand section. If you like, however, you can make the KF-90 recognize chords from the entire keyboard, and perform without splitting the keyboard. This function is called the “Piano Style Arranger.”

This makes it possible to add an accompaniment automatically as you play a song by fingering chords, without giving any thought to the location of a keyboard split.
