Using Auto Accompaniment - Casio Privia PX-110 User Manual

Using Auto Accompaniment

With auto accompaniment,
automatically plays rhythm, bass, and chord parts in
accordance with chords you select using simplified
keyboard fingerings, or chords you play. Auto
accompaniment makes it feel like you have your own
private backup group with you all the time.
NOTE
• Rhythms 10 through 19 consist of chord
accompaniments only without any drum or rhythm
sounds. These rhythms do not sound unless CASIO
CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD
is selected as the accompaniment mode. With such
rhythms, make sure that CASIO CHORD,
FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected
before you try playing chords.
