The CVP-49 includes a sophisticated auto-
accompaniment system (Auto Bass Chord —
ABC) that can provide automated rhythm, bass
and chord backing in a number of ways.
Auto Bass Chord (ABC)
CSet the Tempo.........................................................................................................................................
Use the TEMPO[▲] and [▼] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo
if necessary (see “Tempo Control” on page 17).
■Single-finger Accompaniment
SINGLE FINGER accompaniment makes it simple to produce accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-
seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the ABC section of the keyboard. The automatic accompaniment
consists of rhythm, bass and chords.
ZSelect SINGLE FINGER..........................................................................................................................
XSelect a Style..........................................................................................................................................
Select the desired accompaniment using the style selectors (see “Style Selec-
tion” on page 17).
Press the [SINGLE FINGER] button to select the SINGLE FINGER mode
XSelect a Style..........................................................................................................................................
The FINGERED mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply
your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.
Select an accompaniment style using the style selectors (see “Style Selection”
on page 17).
Press the [FINGERED] button to select the FINGERED mode (the FIN-
GERED indicator will light).
Auto Bass Chord (ABC)
CSet the Tempo.........................................................................................................................................
Use the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo
if necessary (see “Tempo Control” on page 17 for more details).
As soon as you play any chord (up to 4 notes) on the lower keyboard (up to the
split point — normally the F#2 key), the Clavinova will automatically begin to play
the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line (synchro start
is automatically selected in the ABC mode).
FINGERED
NOTES
•The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not
change when related chords are played in sequence
(e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor
seventh).
The Clavinova will accept the following chord 20 types:
•Major [M]
•Minor [m]
•Major seventh [M7]
•Sixth [6]
•Seventh [7]
•Minor sixth [m6]
•Minor seventh [m7]
•Minor major seventh [mM7]
•Minor seventh flatted fifth [m7b5]
•Minor flatted fifth [mb5]
•Major flatted fifth [b5]
•Seventh flatted fifth [7b5]
•Major seventh flatted fifth [M7b5]
•Seventh suspended fourth [7sus4]
•Suspended fourth [sus4]
•Augmented [aug]
•Seventh sharp fifth [7#5]
•Major seventh sharp fifth [M7#5]
•Diminished [dim]
•Half diminished
(minor major seventh flatted fifth) [mM7b5]
●The [INTRO/ENDING], [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL], and [VARIA-
TION/FILL TO VARIATION] buttons can be used in the ABC mode to create
pattern variations in the same way that they are used with rhythm patterns (refer
to the “Accompaniment” section on page 18, 19 for details).
BStop the Accompaniment ......................................................................................................................
Press the [START/STOP] or [INTRO/ENDING] button to stop the accompani-
ment.
NOTES
•Press the [FINGERED] button so that its indicator goes out when you want to exit
from the FINGERED mode.

■Full-keyboard ABC
Auto Bass Chord (ABC)
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.
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 ac-
companiment. 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 disen-
gaged 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.

■Volume Control
RHYTHMCHORD 1
CHORD 2
BASS
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT
MIN
MAX
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 inde-
pendently 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.

■Changing the ABC Split Point
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.

This sophisticated feature not only provides auto-
matic rhythm, bass and chord accompaniment, but it
also adds appropriate harmony notes (two or three
harmonized notes) to a melody you play on the upper
keyboard.
Solo Styleplay
Press the [SOLO STYLEPLAY] button to turn the SOLO STYLEPLAY mode
on. The SINGLE FINGER mode is automatically selected when SOLO
STYLEPLAY is turned on, unless the FINGERED mode is already selected. If a
FULL KEYBOARD mode is selected, the FINGERED mode will automatically
be selected since Solo Styleplay cannot be used with the FULL KEYBOARD
modes.

■Using Solo Styleplay
XSelect a Style..........................................................................................................................................
Select an accompaniment style using the style selectors (see “Style Selection”
on page 17). An appropriate voice for the selected style will automatically be se-
lected, but you can also select any other voice after selecting the style.
CSet the Tempo.........................................................................................................................................
Set the desired tempo if necessary using the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons (see
Play the required chords (SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED) on the ABC
section of the keyboard while playing a melody line on the upper keyboard (for
some styles, only one note can be played at a time on the right-hand section of the
keyboard in the Solo Styleplay mode).
BStop the Accompaniment ......................................................................................................................
Press [START/STOP] or [INTRO/ENDING] to stop the accompaniment.
NTurn Solo Styleplay OFF........................................................................................................................
Press the [SOLO STYLEPLAY] button again to turn the function off.
■Harmonization Variations
It is possible to apply the harmonization type and voice from a different style to
the selected style by pressing the style selector corresponding to the harmonization
type you want to use while holding the [SOLO STYLEPLAY] button — the se-
lected STYLE button indicator will flash while the [SOLO STYLEPLAY] button
is held. This makes it possible, for example, to use the solo styleplay harmonization
type and voice from the 16 BEAT 1 style when actually playing in the POP 1 style.
■The Left Pedal & Solo Styleplay
If the LEFT PEDAL FUNCTION is set to SOLO STYLEPLAY after the
SOLO STYLEPLAY mode is selected, harmonization of notes played on the right-
hand section of the keyboard only occurs while the left pedal is pressed. This al-
lows you to combine normal ABC type performance with SOLO STYLEPLAY as
required.
The left pedal SOSTENUTO function can not be selected while SOLO
STYLEPLAY is on.
NOTES
•The SOLO STYLEPLAY mode will be disengaged if the ABC FINGERED or
SINGLE FINGER mode is turned off or the FULL KEYBOARD ABC mode is
turned on.
