XSelect a Style ...Select an accompaniment style using the style selectors (see "Style Selection" on page 17). CSet the Tempo ...Use the TEMPO [v] and [w] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo if necessary (see "Tempo Control" on page 17 for more details). VPlay ...As soon as you play any chord (up to 4 notes) on the lower keyboard (up to the split point - normally the F#2 key), the Clavinova will automatically begin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line (synchro start is automatically selected in the ABC mode*). * Automatic synchro start switching can be enabled or disabled via the utility 1 mode "Auto Synchro Start Switching" function, described on page 43. The Clavinova will accept the following chord 20 types: • Major [M] • Minor [m] • Major seventh [M7] • Sixth [6] • Seventh [7] • Minor sixth [m6] • Minor seventh [m7] • Minor major seventh [mM7] • Minor seventh flatted fifth [m7-5] • Minor flatted fifth [m-5] • Major flatted fifth [M-5] • Seventh flatted fifth [7-5] • Major seventh flatted fifth [M7-5] • Seventh suspended fourth [7sus4] • Suspended fourth [sus4] • Augmented [aug] • Seventh sharp fifth [7+5] • Major seventh sharp fifth [M7+5] • Diminished [dim] • Half diminished (minor major seventh flatted fifth) [mM7-5] NOTES • The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh). q The [INTRO/ENDING], [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL], and [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] buttons can be used in the ABC mode to create pattern variations in the same way that they are used with rhythm patterns (refer to the "Accompaniment" section on page 18, 19 for details). Normal start = NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL Lower key Variation start = VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION Lower key Intro start = INTRO/ENDING Lower key Fill start to normal = INTRO/ENDING + NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL Fill start to variation = INTRO/ENDING + VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION Lower key Lower key BStop the Accompaniment ...
