Auto Accompaniment

Accompaniment Volume

The function will adjust the accompaniment volume, so as to keep an appropriate balance between the accompaniment volume and the voice volume.

1.Press and hold the [SHIFT] button, and then use the [ACCOMP +]/ [ACCOMP -] button to set accompaniment volume, adjustable range: 0~32, the LCD displays current accompaniment volume level.

2.Press and hold the [SHIFT] button and then press the [ACCOMP +]/ [ACCOMP -] for a while to quickly adjust the volume value.

3.When LCD displays the volume level, press and hold [SHIFT] and then, press the [ACCOMP +]/ [ACCOMP -] button simultaneously to turn the accompaniment volume off. The LCD displays “OFF Accomp”. Keep the [SHIFT] button pressed and then press the [ACCOMP +]/ [ACCOMP -] button again to turn the accompaniment volume on.

Note:

It will automatically exit the setting if there is no operation in 5 seconds.

Chord Fingering

How the chords are played or indicated with your left hand (in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard) is referred to as "fingering". There are 2 types of fingerings as described below.

Chord Basics

A chord, in music, is any harmonic set of three or more notes that is heard as if sounding simultaneously. The most frequently encountered chords are triads. A triad is a set of three notes that can be stacked in thirds. When stacked in thirds, the triad's members, from lowest pitched tone to highest, are called: the Root, the Third, and the Fifth.

Triad Type

There are following basic triad types:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Major Triad

A root with a major third added above and a perfect fifth

 

 

will consist as a “Major Triad”.

 

Minor Triad

A root with a minor third added above and a perfect fifth

 

 

will consist as a “Minor Triad”.

 

Augmented

A root with a major third added above and an

 

Triad

augmented fifth will consist as an “Augmented Triad”.

 

Diminished

A root with a minor third added above and a diminished

 

Triad

fifth will consist as a “Diminished Triad”.

 

Chord Inversion

We define this chord its root is not in the bass i.e. the root is not the lowest note) as an inversion chord. When the root is in the bass, we call the chord: root-position chord. If we put the Third and Fifth in the root position, then it forms “Inversion”, we call this chord “Inversion Chord”. See the following major triad and its inverted chord.

Chord Name

The chord name contains two parts content: Chord root and Chord type.

Single Finger

Single finger type not only can detect single finger but also can detect multi finger. And the single finger makes it easily to play chords through only one, two or three keys. Including major, minor, seventh, and minor seventh chord. Refer to relevant picture on the right for details.

Multi-finger

Multi-finger allows you to play chords in normal fingering. Try playing the 32 chord types in C scale as listed on the right.

Note:

In full range mode, the entire keyboard will only recognize chords played in normal fingering.

Tempo

Each style of the instrument has been set with a default or standard tempo; however, this can be changed by using the [TEMPO +]/ [TEMPO -] button.

1.Use the [TEMPO +]/ [TEMPO -] button to change the tempo. While the tempo value is flashing, use the data dial to quickly change the tempo.

2.Press the [TEMPO+] and [TEMPO-] buttons simultaneously to restore the default tempo setting.

Note:

When style stops, changing the style will automatically reset the tempo. However, changing the style during style playback will not result in tempo change.
