Playing with the Auto Accompaniment Accompaniment Modes q Single Finger To control the Auto Accompaniment, press one, two, or three keys in the left range of the keyboard (below and including the split point), following the rules described below. Play the melody in the right range along with the Auto Accompaniment. s Single Finger Chords The following four chord types can be played in Single Finger mode: C • Major Press the root note of the chord. Cm • Minor [m] Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any black key to the left of it. C7 • Seventh [7] Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any white key to the left of it. Cm7 • Minor Seventh [m7] Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any white and black keys to the left of it (three keys at once). • The Clavinova displays the names of the chords you play at the left edge of the main display, below the tempo. • The same accompaniment continues (even after you release the chord in the left range) until you play the next chord. The illustration below shows the key corresponding to each root note. C# Eb F# Ab Bb (Db)(D#) (Gb)(G#)(A#) C DE FG A B q Multi Finger This method allows you to control the Auto Accompaniment using either the Single Finger method (described above) or the Fingered 1 method (described below). However, when indicating minor, seventh or minor seventh chords, it is necessary to play the white key and/or black key nearest the root note of the chord. q Fingered 1 To control the Auto Accompaniment, play any chord in the left range of the keyboard (below and including the split point). Play the melody in the right range along with the Auto Accompaniment. • The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh). • If the Clavinova cannot recognize a chord you play, an asterisk " * " will appear instead of the chord name in the display. • Drums-only accompaniment can be produced by pressing any three consecutive keys (e.g., C, C#, D) simultaneously. This lets you create dynamic "drum breaks" in the accompaniment. A series of dashes "- - -" will appear instead of a chord name in the display. Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord. 58 60 CVP-201
