Song Playback Using the Practice Functions -Guide These fun features make it easy to learn new music. The key guide lamps indicate the notes you should play, when you should play them, and how long you should hold them down. Also, when you sing and play along with a song using a connected microphone, the Clavinova automatically adjusts the timing of the song to match your vocal performance. You can turn the key guide lamps on/off from the SONG SETTING display (page 137).

They light up in time with music, showing you when to play a note. You can also practice at your own pace - since the accompaniment waits for you to play the notes correctly. • Accompaniment Guide If the song data you're using contains chord data and the [ACMP] button is turned on, you can use the guide lamps (page 137) to help you play chords as well. Watch the guide lamps and try playing the appropriate chords. ■ Any Key With this function, you can play the melody of a song simply by pressing a single key (any key is OK) in time with the rhythm. As long as you play the key in time with the music, the melody flows smoothly with the song. You can also determine the timing by which the key guide lamps light to fit your playing preference (Guide Lamp Timing; page 137). n If you want to learn how to play certain chords, use the Chord Tutor function (page 139). n The Accompaniment Guide function cannot be used if the chord fingering method is set to Single Finger, Full keyboard or AI Full Keyboard. For sing-along performance ■ Karao-Key This convenient function lets you control the song and accompaniment playback with just one finger, while you sing along. Simply play a key on the keyboard in time with the music - any key is fine - and the accompaniment parts of the song follow your playing. This lets you control the timing and tempo of the song and accompaniment to perfectly match your singing performance. ■ Vocal CueTIME Similar to Follow Lights above, you can see which notes to sing by watching the key guide lamps. The Clavinova follows your singing and automatically adjusts the timing and tempo of the song to match your vocal performance. CVP-900 79
