Playing Styles Automatically With Your Custom Chord Progressions (Chord Looper) - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-805 Reference Manual

Playing Styles Automatically with Your
Custom Chord Progressions (Chord Looper)
Normally, while playing along with a Style, you play chords in the chord section of the keyboard. However, by using the
Chord Looper function, you can record chord progressions you want to play over, and the Style can be played back in a
loop responding to the chord progression data. For example, if you play the chords C, F, G and C in order and record it,
the Style loops and keeps playing back as "C / F / G / C → C / F / G / C ... " —without the need for you to play chords in the
chord section of the keyboard. This extends your performance capability, letting you play freely with both your left and
right hands.
