•An accompaniment pattern in the specified chord is auto- matically played. Play the melody with your right hand.
•When you use FILL IN, INTRO and ENDING, the auto- matic accompaniment is also used in these patterns.
•You can set the mode which determines how the LEFT part sounds during an AUTO PLAY CHORD perfor- mance. (See below.)
•In the initialized condition, when the rhythm is off, if an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is on and a chord is speci- fied, 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 27.)

■ON BASS
If the ON BASS button is ON, 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.
