Playing Styles Embellish and enhance your melodies - with the automatic Harmony and Echo effects This powerful performance feature lets you automatically add harmony notes to the melodies you play with your right hand - based on the chords you play with your left. Tremolo, Echo, and other effects are available, too. 1 Turn HARMONY/ECHO on. VOICE EFFECT REVERB DSP VARIATION HARMONY / ECHO MONO LEFT HOLD 2 Turn ACMP on (page 28). 3 Play a chord with your left hand and play some notes in the right-hand range of the keyboard. The CVP-205/203 has various Harmony/Echo types (page 135). The Harmony/Echo type may change according to the selected MAIN voice. • Harmony/Echo is just one of the many Voice Effects you can use. Try out some of the other effects and see how they can enhance your performance (page 58). For details about Harmony/ Echo types, refer to the separate Data List. Style Sections Each style in the auto accompaniment is made up of "sections." Since each section is a rhythmic variation of the basic style, you can use them to add spice to your performance and mix up the beats - while you're playing. Intros, Endings, Main patterns, and Breaks - they're all here, giving you the dynamic elements you need to create professionalsounding arrangements. INTRO MAIN BREAK ENDING This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main section. This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures, and repeats indefinitely until another section's button is pressed. This lets you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional. This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops automatically. 1 - 4 Use the same operations as in "Playing a style" on pages 28 and 29. 5 Press the [INTRO] button. BREAK INTRO A MAIN B C ENDING / rit. D 6 As soon as you play a chord with your left hand, the Intro starts. For this example, play a C major chord (as shown below).

Playing Styles

Quick Guide

Style Sections

Each style in the auto accompaniment is made up of “sections.” Since each section is a rhythmic variation of the basic

style, you can use them to add spice to your performance and mix up the beats — while you’re playing. Intros, Endings,

Main patterns, and Breaks — they’re all here, giving you the dynamic elements you need to create professional-

sounding arrangements.

Use the same operations as in “Playing a style” on pages 28 and 29.

Press the [INTRO] button.

As soon as you play a chord with your left hand, the Intro starts.

For this example, play a C major chord (as shown below).

When the playback of the intro is ﬁnished, it automatically leads into main section.

Press any of the MAIN [A] to [D] buttons or [BREAK] button

as desired. (See the Accompaniment Structure on the next

page.)

Embellish and enhance your melodies — with the automatic Harmony and Echo effects

This powerful performance feature lets you automatically add harmony notes to the melodies you play with your

right hand — based on the chords you play with your left. Tremolo, Echo, and other effects are available, too.

Turn HARMONY/ECHO on.

Turn ACMP on (page 28).

Play a chord with your left hand and play some notes in the right-hand range of the

keyboard.

The CVP-205/203 has various Harmony/Echo types (page 135).

The Harmony/Echo type may change according to the selected MAIN voice.

•

Harmony/Echo is just one of the many Voice Effects you can use. Try out some of

the other effects and see how they can enhance your performance (page 58).

INTRO

This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro

ﬁ

nishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the

main section.

MAIN

This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures,

and repeats inde

ﬁ

nitely until another section

’

s button is pressed.

BREAK

This lets you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your

performance sound even more professional.

ENDING

This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is

ﬁ

nished, the auto accompaniment stops

automatically.
