Auto Accompaniment

Auto Accompaniment - The rhythm styles have their own auto accompaniment (Auto Bass Chord)
dedicated to that rhythm style. These auto accompaniment patterns create fully orchestrated rhythm,
bass and chord progressions based on the chords that you play with your left hand. The selected rhythm
style determines the characteristics of the auto accompaniment. The auto accompaniment section of the
keyboard is assigned by the split point. The keys on the left of the split point are reserved for the auto
accompaniment. The keys to the right are available for normal playing.
Auto Bass Chord Fingering - This piano has three auto accompaniment fingering
modes, single, fingered, and piano. Press the ACCOMP button until the indicator
light until the Fingering mode that you desire is selected.
Single (Intelligent)Mode - Single fingering mode makes it simple to produce
four types of orchestrated accompaniment chords using a minimum of fingers,
(one, two, or three fingers at the most), while playing in the auto accompaniment
section of the keyboard. In this mode, keys in the auto accompaniment section
of the keyboard are used to produce major, seventh,minor, and minor-seventh
chords. The auto accompaniment will start with the percussive rhythm as soon as a
recognized chord is played. The accompaniment produced is perfectly matched to
the selected rhythm style.
Major Chord: Press any key in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.
The key you press determines the root note of the major chord.

accompaniment section of the keyboard simultaneously
Seventh Chord: Press the root key and any white key to its left in the auto
accompaniment section of the keyboard simultaneously.
