Using auto-accompaniment
This keyboard features 50 accompaniment patterns that let
you add full accompaniments to your performances
automatically. With auto-accompaniment, part of the
keyboard is reserved as an accompaniment keyboard. As you
play your chords on the accompaniment keyboard, the
accompaniment pattern adjusts automatically to follow the
progression you play.
You get a choice between two different methods for chord
play. DIGITACIÓN (FINGERED) lets you play chords as you
normally do, while ACORDES CASIO (CASIO CHORD)
makes it possible to play fully formed chords with one finger.
About the accompaniment keyboard
The lower (left) 1.5 octaves are reserved for use as an
accompaniment keyboard whenever you select ACORDES
CASIO (CASIO CHORD) or DIGITACIÓN (FINGERED) with
the ALIMENTACIÓN/MODO (POWER/MODE) selector.
The panel above the accompaniment keyboard keys is marked
with the names of the notes they play. The remainder of the
keyboard (the part that is not included in the accompaniment
keyboard) is called the melody keyboard. Please be sure to
remember these terms, because they will be used throughout
the rest of this manual.
