AUTO 4 is the best Auto-Accompaniment mode when you're not sure what
chords to play. The FS780 has a preset chord sequence (the same one used
with ONE FINGER AD-LIB) for each of the 100 Rhythms.
You activate the
preset sequence by pressing the notes of the Lower Keyboard (beginning
with C1) in successive order. Here are the steps:
1. With the Rhythm stopped, press the Rhythm button and Sound 1 button
simultaneously. Then press the #1 of the numeric Selector button.
The
display should begin to flash alternately between Aut
and the number
Hi (оге orta).
2. Press the Tempo Up button to change the number in the display to G4.
This indicates that the FS780 is in AUTO4.
Press the Demo button to
escape from SYSTEM mode.
3. Press the Auto button until the display briefly flashes an.
You may have
to press the Auto button more than once before you actually see
an appear in the display.
It will flash for less than a second as you press
the Auto button.
4. Select Rhythm number 03 (SOFT FUSION)
and sound number 04
(E.PIANO 2) as you did in the previous pages.
5. Press the Sync./Fill In button. The rhythm will not start until you press a
key in the Lower Keyboard.
6. Now, count "ONE. .. TWO. .. THREE. . . FOUR" at the same tempo as the
blinking red "Tempo" dot in the display.
These are the "Beats" of the
Auto-Accompaniment.
Starting with the lowest "C" (called C1), hold each
note of the Lower Keyboard in successive order (С... С... р... De) for
four beats.
You'll hear the chord sequence change as you move up the
chromatic scale.
With AUTO 4, you won't have to worry about chords.
It lets you concen-
trate on making great melodies with your right hand.
@ Introducing Accompaniment Hold
Accompaniment
Hold is an exciting new feature from KAWAI that allows
you to control the rhythmic placement of Accompaniment Chords while you
play.
To operate Accompaniment
Hold, you'll need to purchase a foot
switch (model F-1, sold separately).
1. Connect the F-1 foot switch to the Accompaniment Hold jack on the rear
panel.
N
Whenever you depress the foot switch pedal, the bass drum, open hi hat,
bass, and chord will play in unison.
3. If you hold the pedal down, the bass and chord sounds will be held until
you release the pedal.
When will the Auto-Accompaniment
Hold feature be
most useful?
a) When you want to add rhythmic variety to your accompaniment by hold-
ing some chords and letting others play normally;
b) When you want to add syncopation to an accompaniment;
and
c) When you want to add accents to an accompaniment.
Try Accompaniment
Hold with several different Auto-Accompaniments to
see how effectively it can add interest and excitement to your performances.
Before moving on lo tbe next section, press tbe tbe Rbytbm
button and
Sound 1 button simultaneously and use tbe
Tempo Down
button to
return to AUTO 1.
