Fingered Mode
The fingered mode is ideal if you already know how
to play chords on the keyboard. It allows you to
play the chords in the auto-accompaniment section
of the keyboard to produce the selected auto-
accompaniment pattern. The Fingering Guide table at
the back of this manual lists all of the 31 recognizable
chords of this mode.
Note: If a chord played cannot be recognized, the
previous chord will keep playing.
Piano Mode
When the Piano Chord Fingering mode is engaged,
you may enter chords anywhere on the keyboard.
You are not limited to the auto-accompaniment
section. In this mode, there is no keyboard split point
function for chord recognition.
Using the Auto-Accompaniment
Each rhythm style includes 5 patterns: Introduction,
Main Pattern, Variation Pattern, Fill-in and Ending.
Variation
Press the VARIATION button to toggle between the
main and variation patterns. The indicator will light
up when Variation is selected.
There are several ways to start the rhythm style:
Straight Start – Pressing the START/STOP button
immediately starts the Drum part of the main or
variation pattern, depending on the status of the
VARIATION button. If one of the chord fingering
modes is engaged while the ACCOMP indicator lights
up, the additional parts of the auto acompaniment
will start as soon as a chord is recognized, according
to the selected chord fingering mode.
Note: Styles marked with a " * " in front of their names
have no drum part. Even if you press the START/STOP
button, they do not play any sound until a recognized
chord is pressed in the Auto Accompaniment zone of the
keyboard, depending on fingering mode selected.
Starting with An Introduction – All of the 100 styles
can be started with an introduction pattern. Pressing
the INTRO/ENDING button immediately starts the
Drum part of the introduction pattern, followed by
either the main or variation pattern (depending on the
status of the VARIATION button). If one of the chord
fingering modes is engaged, the additional parts of the
auto-accompaniment will start as soon as a chord is
recognized, according to the selected chord fingering
mode.
Synchronized Start – Synchronized Start mode
makes the auto accompaniment go to "standby." Press
the SYNC START button, the beat indicator dots
above the TEMPO buttons will blink at the current
tempo, indicating that the synchronized start mode
is ready. You may add an introduction by pressing
the INTRO/ENDING button after pressing the
SYNCH START button. The auto accompaniment
will start as soon as you play a recognized chord in
the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.
If the auto accompaniment is disengaged, (the auto
accompaniment indicator is off ), then this feature
will not be available.
Fill -In
The fill feature will insert a short rhythmic pattern
of one to two measures in length, depending on the
rhythm style selected and the variation. Holding down
the FILL IN button will extend the fill indefinitely.
Note: The FILL-IN button can also be used in place of
the INTRO/ENDING button to start playing with a
fill-in pattern instead of the introduction.
