Style Playback (Auto Accompaniment)

This section explains important style-related operations not covered in the Quick Guide. For basic information on

playing styles, refer to the Quick Guide.

Chord Fingerings

The chords (or simpliﬁed chord indications) you play in the left-hand section of the keyboard are used for several performance

functions:

• When [ACMP] is turned on (page 32), the left-hand section of the keyboard becomes the Chord section and the selected style is

played back according to the chords speciﬁed in the left-hand section of the keyboard. The speciﬁed chords are also used for Vocal

Harmony (page 47), the Harmony (Voice) effect (page 39), and the Multi Pads (when used with Chord Match; page 38).

• When the [ACMP] is turned off (page 32) and the LEFT part is turned on, the notes played as the Left part are recognized as chords.

These chords have no effect on style playback, but are used for Vocal Harmony (page 47), the Harmony (Voice) effect (page 39),

and the Multi Pads (when used with Chord Match; page 38).

There is also a convenient Chord Tutor function that shows you which notes you need to play to make certain chords. (Press

[FUNCTION] → CHORD FINGERING.)

The explanations here show how to specify chords. Call up the [FUNCTION] → CHORD FINGERING display and follow the

instructions below.

■ Seven types of Chord Fingerings..............................................................................................................

● SINGLE FINGER

Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by

pressing a minimum number of keys on the Chord section of the keyboard. This type is available only for style play-

back. The abbreviated chord ﬁngerings described below are used:

● FINGERED

Lets you ﬁnger your own chords on the Chord section of the keyboard, while the TYROS supplies appropriately

orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected style. The Fingered recognizes the various chord

types which are listed on the separate Data List booklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function above.

● FINGERED ON BASS

Accepts the same ﬁngerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord section of the keyboard is used

as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords (in the Fingered mode the root of the chord is always used as

the bass note).

● MULTI FINGER

Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord ﬁngerings, so you can use either type of ﬁngering without

having to switch ﬁngering types.

● AI FINGERED

Basically the same as FINGERED, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords

(based on the previously played chord, etc.).
