page 23). It automatically adds appropriate harmony notes to a single-note melody line you play on the key-
board. You can choose from 10 different types of harmony that can be assigned to the right-hand orchestration
parts.

to notes played on the keyboard while the harmony notes are played
by the R1 and R2 voices, depending on the selected harmony type.
• Only a single note can be played at a time on the keyboard (or the
right-hand section of the keyboard) when the Auto Harmony feature is
used.
• If you play more than one note at the same time while Auto Harmony
is ON, only the highest note will sound.
• Auto Harmony will only function when the Auto Accompaniment func-
tion is being used (page 23).
