Chapter 2 Automatic Accompaniment

Playing the Piano with Accompaniment Added (Piano Style Arranger)

Usually with Automatic Accompaniment, you play chords on the left-hand side of the keyboard and the melody on the right-hand side. Chords can also be recognized over the entire keyboard, allowing you to perform using Automatic Accompaniment without splitting the keyboard. This function is called “Piano Style Arranger.”

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

1. Press the One Touch Program [Arranger] button.

2. Touch <Split> to turn the Split function off.

3. Select a Music Style (p. 62).

4. Play the keyboard.

The accompaniment starts when you play a chord anywhere on the keyboard.
