Single-Finger, Fingered Chord, and
Full Keyboard Accompaniment
“Single Finger” accompaniment makes it simple to produce accompaniment using major,
seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the ABC
section of the keyboard. The automatic accompaniment consists of rhythm, bass and chords.
“Fingered Chord” accompaniment is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a
keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the auto accompaniment feature.
When the “Full Keyboard” mode is selected the Clavinova will automatically create appro-
priate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard.
