Using Auto Accompaniment
The different types of Auto Accompaniment phrases
(patterns) are shown in the illustration below. You can
switch between patterns during accompaniment play
and even modify patterns.

complete. If you press a different variation button
before pressing an intro button, Auto Accompaniment
will proceed to the selected variation after the intro
pattern is complete.

The Digital Keyboard has four built-in rhythm
variations. Pressing the same button again while its
variation pattern is sounding will play a fill-in pattern
that momentarily modifies the rhythm.

Accompaniment that is playing. Pressing this button
while Auto Accompaniment is playing will stop Auto

returns to normal.

played on the keyboard.
