■ The Track Buttons
The Auto Accompaniment system includes eight TRACK buttons
which allow you to control the accompaniment arrangement in real
time. You can turn tracks on or off while playing for extra accompa-
niment variety.
The various tracks are turned on or off by pressing the correspond-
ing TRACK button. When a part is turned off the corresponding indi-
cator will go out. To silence the bass part, for example, press the
TRACK [BASS] button so that its indicator goes out. Press the button
again to turn that part back on.
NOTES
• The indicators for all tracks that contain data in any section will
light whenever an accompaniment style is selected. (Depend-
ing on the selected accompaniment style, some tracks may not
contain any data.)

● What’s In the Tracks...............................................................................................................................
Here’s how the tracks are normally used:
RHYTHM 1: This is the main rhythm track, and usually plays a drum kit.
RHYTHM 2: Additional rhythm. Turning the RHYTHM 2 track ON will usually increase
the “energy” of the rhythm. In many styles this track plays percussion in-
struments such as congas, bongos, etc. This means you can turn off the
RHYTHM 1 track and use only RHYTHM 2 for a “light” rhythm sound.
BASS: The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to fit
the selected style … acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.
RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 & 2:
Both these tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by
each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here.
PAD CHORD: This track plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instruments
such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE 1 & 2: This is where the musical embellishments reside. The PHRASE tracks are
used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make
the accompaniment more interesting.
Try different combinations of tracks with each style. Some styles will sound best with the full arrangement
(all tracks ON), while others might suit your needs better if a smaller arrangement is used. To “thin out” an
arrangement, the PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2 tracks are the first ones you’ll want to turn OFF.
Another way to use the tracks is to gradually build up the arrangement during the course of a song. Start
with a small arrangement — e.g. RHYTHM 1, BASS, and RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 — then add tracks one by
one as you want to thicken the musical texture.
Some styles will actually sound quite different depending on the combination of tracks you choose. Try,
for example, just RHYTHM 1, BASS, and PAD CHORD.
