Fingered Accompaniment; Full-Keyboard Abc - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-89 Owner's Manual

Auto Bass Chord (ABC)
[ ]
B
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 name of the detected chord will
appear on the display. If the chord played is not recognized by the CVP-89, only
the root note will be displayed followed by an asterisk (" ").

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).
Press the [START/STOP] or [INTRO/ENDING] button to stop the accompani-
ment.
When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged (press the [FULL
KEYBOARD] button so that its indicator lights) the Clavinova will automatically
create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on
the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. The name of
the detected chord will appear on the display. You don't have to worry about speci-
fying the accompaniment chords. Although Full-keyboard ABC is designed to work
with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature.
Try playing a few simple songs in the Full-keyboard ABC mode to get a feel for its
capabilities.
