Using Auto Accompaniment
With Auto Accompaniment, simply select the
accompaniment rhythm you want and the matching
accompaniment (drums, guitar, etc.) will play
automatically when you play a chord with your left
hand. It’s like having your own personal backup group
along with you wherever you go.
You can edit built-in rhythms and produce original
rhythms (user rhythms) and save them in memory. For
details, see the separate “Tutorial” manual.
1.
In the 4 RHYTHM area, press the button of
the rhythm group that contains the rhythm
you want.
The RHYTHM SELECT screen will appear with a list of
rhythms in the selected rhythm group.
Touching the subgroup icon displays subgroup
rhythms.
You can display the RHYTHM SELECT screen from
any other screen by pressing a button in the 4
RHYTHM area.
2.
Touch the rhythm you want to use.
You can navigate between rhythm group pages by
touching “ ” or “ ”.
You can also display the RHYTHM SELECT screen
by touching the rhythm name displayed for
“Rhythm” on the MAIN screen.
3.
Use the 7 TEMPO w, q buttons to adjust
the tempo setting.
For information about the tempo adjustment method,
see “Changing the Tempo Setting” (page EN-20).
To return a rhythm to its recommended tempo
setting, press the 7 TEMPO w, q buttons at the
same time.
4.
Press the dq ACCOMP ON/OFF button so its
lamp is lit.
This turns ACCOMP on, so all accompaniment parts
sound.
Turning ACCOMP off so the ACCOMP lamp is unlit
causes only the percussion instrument parts (Drums,
Percussion) to sound.
Each press of the button toggles ACCOMP between
on and off.
