Auto Bass Chord (ABC)

This mode lets you create accompaniment in two ways.
"Single Finger" accompaniment makes it simple to produce accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-
seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the ABC section of the keyboard. The automatic accompaniment
consists of rhythm, bass and chords.
"Fingered" accompaniment is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply
your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.

Press the [SINGLE/FINGERED] button to select the SINGLE/FINGERED
mode (the SINGLE/FINGERED indicator will light).
Select an accompaniment style using the style selectors (see "Style Selection"
on page 17).
Use the TEMPO [ ] and [ ] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo
if necessary (see "Tempo Control" on page 18 for more details).
Pressing any key on the ABC section of the keyboard (up to the split point —
normally the F#2 key) will cause the automatic chord and bass accompaniment to
begin (synchro start is automatically selected in the ABC mode). If you press a "C"
key, for example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in
the ABC section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press will
always determine the "root" of the chord played (i.e. "C" for a C chord). The name
of the detected chord will appear on the display.
Single-finger minor, seventh, and minor-seventh chords can be played as fol-
lows:
• For a minor chord, press the root key and the black key to its left.
• For a seventh chord, press the root key and the white key to its left.
• For a minor-seventh chord, press the root key and both the white and black key to
its left.
Any other two-note fingerings that do not fit the above rules will produce a
chord based on the previous chord.
