Using the Auto-Accompaniment function
The MS20's Auto-Accompaniment function allows you to enjoy
authentic ensemble performances, simply by (1) pressing and
holding chords with your left hand, or by (2) pressing a key with
a single finger of your left hand.
1. Use either the SELECTOR buttons or the CHANGE buttons to
select a rhythm.
2. Next, press the AUTO button once. This activates the
"Fingered Chord" system for AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT.
3. Start the rhythm using the START/STOP button.
4. Play a chord on the AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT section of the
keyboard. The AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT and rhythm
should begin playing together. The chords played by the
AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT will change to match the chord
form you depress. The chord forms that you can use are on
page8..
5. Now press the AUTO button once again. This activates the
"Single Finger" system for AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT.
6. Try pressing just one of the keys on the AUTO-
ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard. The AUTO-
ACCOMPANIMENT should change each time you press a key.
This function allows you to enjoy using the AUTO-
ACCOMPANIMENT with one finger if you have difficulty
playing complete chord forms.
7. Pressing the AUTO button a third time turns the AUTO-
ACCOMPANIMENT function off.
To summarize, pressing the AUTO button once allows you to use
complete fingered chord forms to trigger the AUTO-
ACCOMPANIMENT.
Pressing the AUTO button a second time lets you use one finger
on a single note in the AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT section of
keyboard to trigger the AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT.
NOTE: Before proceeding to the next step, you should turn the
AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT function off using the AUTO
button as described above. (You can check to make sure
that the AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT is off by pressing a
key on the AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT section of the
keyboard. You hear the currently selected sound, rather
than the AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT.
