Other Auto Accompaniment Functions
At times you may find it difficult to control the Auto Accompaniment
while playing a complicated piece of music that requires your full atten-
tion on the keyboard. The Accompaniment Assistance function lets you
program chord and pattern changes in advance, so that the Auto Accom-
paniment will play itself, letting you concentrate on playing the keyboard
parts.

Setting Up the Accompaniment Assistance..................

Use the following procedure to create Accompaniment Assistance
data before you begin your performance:
ZOpen the ACMP ASSIST display.
Accompaniment Assistance
If the Clavinova’s memory contains
Accompaniment Assistance data, it will
be displayed in the ACMP ASSIST
display.
The [ACMP ON] lamp will not light
when you load Accompaniment Assist-
ance data that includes an “accompa-
niment off” event (page 84). If you wish
to add chords to the loaded data, you
must first change this to an “accompa-
niment on” event. To do so, move the
cursor to the top of the first measure
as described in step 2 (page 82), press
[ACMP ON] to light the lamp, then
press SET. (See the sidebar on page
86 for details regarding the use of
“accompaniment off” events in Accom-
paniment Assistance playback.)
Press [DIRECT ACCESS], then [ACMP ASSIST].

BTurn off the Music Database................................................................

When you’re done using the Music Database setup, press the [MU-
SIC DATABASE] button again.
The [MUSIC DATABASE] lamp turns off, and the panel settings
you were using before you accessed the Music Database are re-
stored.
