3 Change chords using the auto ac-

companiment feature.

Try playing a few successive single notes with your

left hand, and notice how the bass and chord

accompaniment change with each key you play.

You can also play full chords to control the auto

accompaniment. (Refer to page 56 for more infor-

mation on how to use auto accompaniment.)

• The ACCOMPANIMENT ON/OFF button can also be

used to turn off and on the bass/chord accompaniment

while playing — allowing you to create dynamic rhythmic

breaks in your performance.

• You can use the Sync-Start function to create a similar,

yet even more dramatic break. While the accompaniment

is playing, pressing the SYNC-START button immediately

stops the accompaniment and enables Sync-Start. This

lets you play unaccompanied until you press a key in the

auto accompaniment section to start the accompaniment

again. This is especially effective when you press the

SYNC-START button at the end of a musical phrase.

Chords played in the auto accompaniment section of the

keyboard are also detected and played when the accom-

paniment is stopped. In effect, this gives you a “split

keyboard,” with bass and chords in the left hand and the

normally selected voice in the right.

CHANGING THE TEMPO

The Tempo of song (and accompaniment) playback

can be adjusted over a range of 32 - 280 bpm

(beats per minute). For instructions on changing

the Tempo, see page 76.

Each style has been given a default or standard tempo.

(For instructions on restoring the default tempo, see page

77.) When accompaniment playback is stopped and a

different style is selected, the tempo returns to the default

setting of the new style.
