@ Using auto-accompaniment
This keyboard features 100 accompaniment patterns that let you add full accompaniments to your
performances automatically. With auto-accompaniment,
part of the keyboard is reserved as an
accompaniment keyboard. As you play your chords on the accompaniment keyboard, the accompa-
niment patterns adjusts automatically to follow the progression you play.
You get a choice between two different methods for chord play. FINGERED lets you play chords as
you normally do, while CASIO CHORD makes it possible to play fully formed chords with one finger.
Note that this keyboard also features a FULL RANGE CHORD system (page E-38) that lets you use
the entire keyboard for chord and melody play.
About the accompaniment keyboard
The lower 26 keys are reserved for use as an accompaniment keyboard whenever you select CASIO
CHORD or FINGERED with the MODE button. The panel above the accompaniment keyboard keys
is marked with the names of the notes they play. The remainder of the keyboard (the part that is not
included in the accompaniment keyboard) is called the melody keyboard. Please be sure to remem-
ber these terms, because they will be used throughout the rest of this manual.
