Accompaniment Styles

Selecting Accompaniment Styles

The Clavinova has a wide variety of musical “styles” that you can use for simplepercussion accompaniment, or as the basis of a fully orchestrated accompaniment— including bass and rhythm parts — using the Auto Accompaniment feature (page69). There is also a selection of “Pianist” styles that let you play with pianoaccompaniment when you activate the Auto Accompaniment.
