The Clavinova has five accompaniment parts: Rhythm, Bass, Chord,

Pad, and Phrase.

Adjusting Individual Part Levels
• The overall accompaniment playback
volume can be adjusted using the
[ACMP/SONG VOLUME] slider.
• By adjusting the volume balance of the
various parts, or setting the volume of
some parts to 0, you can create varia-
tions on the basic style accompani-
ment.
• Some styles may not use all five ac-
companiment parts.
• You can also adjust the level of reverb
that is applied to the Auto Accompani-
ment parts. See page 43 for details.

The volume settings for the five accompaniment parts can be adjusted

individually in the MIXER display page.

Part volume relationships
• The volume level of each Auto Accom-
paniment part is relative to the [ACMP/
SONG VOLUME] setting.
• The [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] setting
is relative to the [MASTER VOLUME]
setting.

RHYTHM This part forms the basis of the accompaniment. The Rhythm
part usually plays one of the drum kits.
BASS The Bass part uses voices appropriate to each style, including
acoustic bass and synth bass.
CHORD The Chord part provides appropriate rhythmic chordal accompa-
niment for each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal
instruments here.
PAD The Pad part plays long chords where necessary, using sus-
tained instruments such as strings, organ, and choir.
PHRASE The Phrase part is used for embellishments such as punchy
brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the
accompaniment more interesting.
