Bass Inversion - Kawai Concert Performer CP136 Owner's Manual

38
Full Keyboard The player must play at least three notes of a chord anywhere across the 88
keys before the ACC System will recognise the chord type. This mode is similar
to Fingered however, Full Keyboard recognises chord types from three or more
notes played anywhere across the 88 keys not just below the split point.

Bass Inversion

When Bass Inversion is on, the Bass Section of the Style will follow the lowest note of the chord
voicing played on the keyboard. With Bass Inversion on it is possible to specify a chord over a
certain bass note by the chord voicing you play. For example, a C chord over a G bass, or a Bb7
chord over a C Bass. Bass Inversion will work with all three key recognition modes but when in
One Finger mode, you play at least two notes of a chord for Bass Inversion to function.
To turn Auto-accompaniment (ACC) on:
1) Select a Style that you would like to play.
2) Press one of the ACCOMPANIMENT buttons to select the Key Recognition mode. The
selected Key recognition mode will be displayed at the bottom of the LCD screen if
you're on the main play screen.
3) Press the BASS INVERSION button if you would like to turn it on.
4) Press the ACC ON/OFF button to activate the Auto-accompaniment System (ACC).
5) Press the START/STOP button to start the Style, and play some chords in the LEFT/
SPLIT Part. You will hear the Style start and also change keys and chord types as you
play different chords.
6) If you want to cancel or stop the Auto-accompaniment, press the ACC ON/OFF button
again. If you turn the ACC off without stopping the Style the drum rhythms will continue
to play.
• When you play along with the Auto-accompaniment using the Fingered or Full Keyboard modes,
you may hear two sounds playing the chords: one is selected by the front panel and the other is
pre programmed for the Style. This is because the sounds used by the Auto-accompaniment
Style are independent of the Left and Right Part sound settings. Therefore you will hear the
instrument sounds played by your hand as well as those generated by the accompaniment.
