Playing a Rhythm
419A-E-013B
Using Auto Accompaniment
With Auto Accompaniment, the digital piano 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.
Using the MODE Button
You can use the MODE button to select the accompaniment mode
you want to use. You can also use it to turn off Auto
Accompaniment. Each press of the MODE button cycles through
accompaniment modes in the sequence shown below.
In the NORMAL mode (no indicator lamp lit), only rhythm
accompaniment plays.
The FULL RANGE CHORD, FINGERED, and CASIO CHORD
modes all play Auto Accompaniment patterns. See page E-11
for details about each of these different modes.
To play with Auto Accompaniment
Getting Ready
Use the procedures under Playing a Rhythm to select the
rhythm you want to use and adjust the tempo.
1
Use the MODE button to select CASIO CHORD,
FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD as the
accompaniment mode.
Here we will select the CASIO CHORD mode.
See page E-11 for information about selecting the
accompaniment mode.
2
Press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button.
This configures the digital piano so rhythm and chord
accompaniment will start automatically when you press
any keys within the accompaniment keyboard range.
3
Press the INTRO button.
NORMAL (Auto Accompaniment off)
FULL RANGE CHORD
FINGERED
CASIO CHORD
4
Use a CASIO CHORD fingering to play the first chord
within the accompaniment keyboard range.
See How to Play Chords on this page for information
about how to finger chords with the different chord modes.
Playing a chord 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.
You can insert a fill-in pattern while an Auto
Accompaniment is playing by pressing the NORMAL/
FILL-IN button. A fill-in helps to change the mood of the
Auto Accompaniment pattern.
If you want to change to the variation rhythm pattern, press
the VARIATION/FILL-IN button. To return to the normal
rhythm pattern, press the NORMAL/FILL-IN button.
6
To stop Auto Accompaniment play, press the
SYNCHRO/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.
How to Play Chords
The way you finger chords depends on the current chord mode.
NORMAL
In this mode, Auto Accompaniment is turned off, so you can play
chords as you would normally do on a piano keyboard.
CASIO CHORD
Even if you do not know how to play chords normally, this mode
lets you play four different types of chords using simplified
fingerings in the accompaniment area of the keyboard. The
following shows where the accompaniment area is located, and
explains how to finger chords in the CASIO CHORD mode.
CASIO CHORD Mode Keyboard
IMPORTANT!
In the CASIO CHORD mode, the keys in the accompaniment
area of the keyboard operate as chord switches only. You
cannot use the keys in this area to play notes.
