Playing With The Auto Accompaniment; Using The Auto Accompaniment - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-103 Owner's Manual

Playing with the Auto Accompaniment

The Clavinova includes a sophisticated Auto Accompaniment
system that can provide automated rhythm, bass and chord
backing for your performance in 125 different styles, as well as
35 different types of piano-only accompaniment.
The Auto Accompaniment playback data is normally not output by the
MIDI [OUT] terminal. To send the Auto Accompaniment data to another
MIDI instrument, use the ACMP&RHY and HARMONY functions in the
FUNCTION [MIDI 4] display described on page 150.

Using the Auto Accompaniment

You can use one of several methods to indicate the chords that are to
be played by the Auto Accompaniment. Choose the accompaniment
mode that best suits your playing style.
Single Finger
The Single Finger method makes it easy to obtain accompaniment in
major, seventh, minor, and minor-seventh chords by pressing certain keys
(according to simple rules) to the left of the split point indicated by the
keyboard guide lamp. (See page 60.)
Multi Finger
When you select the Multi Finger mode, you can use either the Single
Finger method or the Fingered 1 method to indicate chords for the ac-
companiment. (See page 60.)
Fingered 1
The Fingered 1 method lets you control the Auto Accompaniment by
playing full chords to the left of the split point. (See page 60.)
Fingered 2
This mode accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered 1 mode, with
the exception that the lowest note played to the left of the split point is
used as the bass root (in Fingered 1 mode, the root of the chord is always
used as the bass root). Hence, you can select this mode to play "on bass"
or "fraction" chords. (See page 61.)
Full Keyboard
The Full Keyboard mode automatically produces appropriate auto-
matic accompaniment for virtually anything you play, anywhere on the
keyboard. (See page 61.)
