Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style

Starting the rhythm with Sync
Start
You can also start the rhythm
simply by playing a key of the
chord section of the keyboard, if
Sync Start is enabled (turn on the
[SYNC START] button).
The rhythm does not sound for
the Pianist Styles (or other similar
Styles). When you want to use
any of these Styles, always make
sure that ACMP ON/OFF is
turned on.

SINGLE FINGER
Makes it simple to produce
orchestrated accompani-
ment using major, seventh,
minor and minor-seventh
chords by pressing a mini-
mum number of keys on the
Chord section of the key-
board. This type is available
only for Style playback.
The abbreviated chord fin-
gerings described at right are
used:
MULTI FINGER
Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you
can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types.
FINGERED
Lets you finger your own chords on the Chord section of the keyboard,
while the CVP supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and
chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recog-
nizes the various chord types which are listed on the separate Data List
booklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function (page 48).
FINGERED ON
Accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played
BASS
in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing
you to play "on bass" chords (in the Fingered mode the root of the
chord is always used as the bass note).
FULL KEYBOARD
Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way
similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and
right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a
chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a
melody note with your right.
AI FINGERED
Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three
notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously
played chord, etc.).
AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the CVP will automati-
cally create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about any-
thing, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don't have to
worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard
type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not
be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full Key-
board, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to
indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th,
11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for
Style playback.
Playing Only the Rhythm Channels
of a Style
Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along
with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind,
however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels.
