Playing Rhythms
Use a CASIO CHORD fingering to play the
4
first chord within the accompaniment
keyboard range.
• This will cause the intro pattern for the selected
rhythm to play, followed by the auto
accompaniment rhythm and chord pattern.
Use CASIO CHORD fingerings to play

information about how to finger chords with
the various chord modes.

rhythm before stopping auto accompaniment
play.

without an intro or ending pattern by pressing the
START/STOP button in steps 3 and 6.
