a Using Auto-Accompaniment
The X65-D's auto-accompaniment (short for "automatic accompaniment'') section
is one of the most powerful found on any portable keyboard. It has the capability
of working in three different "modes". In this Basic Operation section of the
manual, however, we will deal only with the first mode cailed "AUTO 1". In AUTO
1 mode, you can control the chord and bass parts with your left hand while playing
the melody with your right hand. Here's how AUTO 1 works:
The AUTO 1 auto-accompaniment mode allows you to create a realistic "full band"
performance by simply pressing and holding left hand chords as you play the
melody. The 21 keys on the left side of the keyboard (which we call the Lower
Keyboard) are used to play the chords which control the auto-accompaniment.
1. Select an Accompaniment Style (which we'll refer to as just "Style") using the
ACCOMP. STYLE button and the SELECTOR buttons. Then, start the Style
STARTISTOP by pressing the START/STOP button.
2. Now press one or more of the keys on the Lower Keyboard. The auto-
accompaniment chords will change as you press different keys. Your keyboard
recognizes a wide variety of chords. See Page Ap-1 for a chart of these chords
in the key of C and some valuable hints for beginners.

es The Mixer Section
The MASTER VOLUME buttons (which do not light) control overall volume of
— all notes played on the keyboard. The volume of auto-accompaniment can be
adjusted using the ACCOMP. VOLUME buttons (which do not light). The current
volume for a specific part will appear briefly in the display each time a VOLUME
: ra 1 SOUND 2
i
button is pressed.
With the X Series keyboards, you can also adjust the individual volume of the
instruments assigned the SOUND 1 and SOUND 2 buttons. For example, if PPANO
aa is assigned to SOUND 1, you can increase its volume individually by holding down
the SOUND 1 button while you raise the volume with the MASTER VOLUME
buttons. In the same way, you can increase ro decrease SOUND 2 volume
individually by holding down the SOUND 2 button while using the MASTER
VOLUME buttons to adjust the level.
