22 Auto Bass Chord (ABC) s Full-keyboard ABC q Full-keyboard ABC FULL KEYBOARD SINGLE FINGER FINGERED When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged (press the [FULL KEYBOARD] button so that its indicator lights) the Clavinova will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. You don't have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although Full-keyboard ABC is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. Try playing a few simple songs in the Full-keyboard ABC mode to get a feel for its capabilities. NOTES • Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short chords - less than an 8th note in length - may therefore not be detected. q Conventional Full-keyboard ABC FULL KEYBOARD SINGLE FINGER FINGERED s Volume Control AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT MAX MIN RHYTHM BASS CHORD 1 CHORD 2 MIDI/ TRANSPOSE BASS The Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode can be engaged by pressing the [SINGLE FINGER] and [FINGERED] buttons simultaneously (both indicators will light). In this mode the split point is de-activated and notes played anywhere on the keyboard are detected and used to determine the harmonization of the accompaniment. In the Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode, chord detection is possible when at least three notes are played anywhere on the keyboard. NOTES • The Dual or SPLIT mode can be used with Full-keyboard ABC. • The Full-keyboard and Conventional Full-keyboard ABC modes will be disengaged and the Fingered mode will be engaged if Solo Styleplay is turned on. • Solo Styleplay will automatically be turned off whenever the Full-keyboard or Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode is engaged. • Press the [FULL KEYBOARD] button so that its indicator goes out when you want to exit from the FULL-KEYBOARD ABC mode. To exit from the Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode press the [SINGLE FINGER] or [FINGERED] button twice. The RHYTHM, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, and BASS volume controls can be used to adjust the volume of the corresponding accompaniment parts when using ABC. In general, CHORD 1 controls rhythmic chords while CHORD 2 controls more decorative chords (arpeggios, etc.). The volume of the keyboard can be independently controlled by using the BASS volume control while holding the [MIDI/ TRANSPOSE] button. NOTES • Some styles may not use all four parts: RHYTHM, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, and BASS. • Usually the CHORD 1 and CHORD 2 parts will not play simultaneously in the Full-keyboard ABC mode to prevent possible conflict with the melody. The sound of the silent part can be restored by changing the setting of the corresponding volume control - CHORD 1 or CHORD 2. s Changing the ABC Split Point SINGLE FINGER The ABC split point can be set at any key by pressing the desired key while holding the [SINGLE FINGER] or [FINGERED] button. The default split point - F#2 - will always be set automatically whenever the power is initially turned on. C3
