Try the automatic accompaniment (One Touch Program button)
The Arranger function of the AT-90 can add an automatic accompaniment to the
rhythm. Based on the selected rhythm, the Arranger function automatically adds an
accompaniment that is suitable for the chord being pressed in the lower keyboard.
The AT-90 provides a very convenient One Touch Program button. By simply press-
ing this button once, you will be ready to add an automatic accompaniment that is
most appropriate for the currently selected rhythm.
* Jf a rhythm from a music style disk is selected, pressing the One Touch Program
button will not select the most appropriate Voice.
Here's how you can select a rhythm and add an automatic accompaniment.
1. Select a rhythm. (>p.24)

The accompaniment will change appropriately for the chord you played. Try vari-
ous other chords.

The Variation button indicator will be turned off, and after a fill-in, the accompani-
ment will return to the Original type.
