— The Secret Of performance assistant technology —

How It Creates Music From Random Notes

Performance assistant technology reads the chord data from the song and only assigns notes that will “work” at that moment to the keyboard. Since the chords of a song are constantly changing, different notes and chords will be pro- duced even if you repeatedly play the same keys.

Chord tones and other usable notes are assigned to the keyboard.

You produce a harmoni- ous group of notes no matter where you play.

Songs That Can Be Used With the performance assistant technology

Performance assistant technology can only be used with songs that include chord data. Preset Songs can be used with performance assistant technology since the songs include chord data.

External Songs and the performance assistant technology

In addition to the instrument’s internal songs, the 70 songs provided on the Accessory CD-ROM (page 70) can be used with performance assistant technology. A list of the MIDI songs included on the Accessory CD-ROM is provided on page 85.

Songs downloaded from the Internet can also be used with performance assistant technology as long as they include the required chord data. Transfer song files you want to use from your computer to the instrument’s flash memory (page 68).
