Using Auto Accompaniment With auto accompaniment, the keyboard automatically plays rhythm, bass, and chord parts in accordance with chords you select using simplified keyboard fingerings, or chords you play. Auto accompaniment makes it feel like you have your own private backup group with you all the time. Playing Rhythms 2 Press the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN button. • This configures the piano so rhythm and chord accompaniment will start automatically when you press any keys within the accompaniment keyboard range. 3 Press the INTRO/ENDING button. • This configures the piano so accompaniment starts with an intro pattern. NOTE • Rhythms 10 through 19 consist of chord accompaniments only without any drum or rhythm sounds. These rhythms do not sound unless CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected as the accompaniment mode. With such rhythms, make sure that CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected before you try playing chords. To play with auto accompaniment PREPARATION • Select the rhythm you want to use and adjust the tempo. 1 Select one of the three chord modes (MODE). NORMAL CASIO CHORD FULL RANGE CHORD FINGERED • Here we will select the CASIO CHORD mode. • See page E-12 for information about how to use the chord modes. 4 Use a CASIO CHORD fingering to play the first chord within the accompaniment keyboard range. • This will cause the intro pattern for the selected rhythm to play, followed by the auto accompaniment rhythm and chord pattern. 5 Use CASIO CHORD fingerings to play other chords. • See "How to Play Chords" on page E-12 for information about how to finger chords with the various chord modes. • You can insert a fill-in pattern while an auto accompaniment is playing by pressing the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN button. A fill-in helps to change the mood of the auto accompaniment pattern. 6 To stop auto accompaniment play, press the INTRO/ENDING button. • This will play an ending pattern for the selected rhythm before stopping auto accompaniment play. NOTE • You can start or stop auto accompaniment play without an intro or ending pattern by pressing the START/STOP button in steps 3 and 6. • You can adjust the volume of auto accompaniment.
