Auto Play Chord

Simply by playing a chord on the keyboard, the AUTO PLAY CHORD function automatically plays an
accompaniment pattern which matches perfectly the selected rhythm. With a real accompaniment as a
background, you can concentrate on playing the melody.
How the AUTO PLAY CHORD works
Chord
When an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is
selected, an automatic accompaniment which
matches the rhythm you have chosen is played
in the chord which you specify with your left
hand. The melody is played with your right hand.
• The accompaniment pattern of the AUTO PLAY CHORD
is composed of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS, ACCOMP
1–5.
• The volume of each part can be adjusted with the buttons
below the display. (Refer to page 27.)
