Fingered Accompaniment - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-49 Owner's Manual

Fingered Accompaniment

The FINGERED mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply
your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.

Press the [FINGERED] button to select the FINGERED mode (the FIN-
GERED indicator will light).
Select an accompaniment style using the style selectors (see "Style Selection"
on page 17).
Use the TEMPO [ ] and [ ] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo
if necessary (see "Tempo Control" on page 17 for more details).
As soon as you play any chord (up to 4 notes) on the lower keyboard (up to the
split point — normally the F#2 key), the Clavinova will automatically begin to play
the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line (synchro start
is automatically selected in the ABC mode).

The [INTRO/ENDING], [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL], and [VARIA-
TION/FILL TO VARIATION] buttons can be used in the ABC mode to create
pattern variations in the same way that they are used with rhythm patterns (refer
to the "Accompaniment" section on page 18, 19 for details).
