Full
In the Full mode, chords played anywhere on the keyboard are recognized for producing Auto
Accompaniment. Here, the PortaTone “intelligently” distinguishes between the playing of your right and
left hands and produces accompaniment. (A single note eleven notes higher than the lowest note of the
chord is recognized as a right-hand or melody note.) Chords recognized are the same as in Fingered
above.
• The Harmony/Echo effect is not available when the Full mode is selected.
Single Finger
Single Finger mode makes it easy to produce fully orchestrated accompaniment by simply playing a one-,
two- or three-finger chord indication (in the Auto Accompaniment section), as shown below. The key of C is
used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules. For example, B
b
7 is played as B
b
and A.
Changing the Accompaniment Split Point
This function allows you to set the highest key in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard. (All keys
below and including this point will be used for Auto Accompaniment.) Accompaniment Split Point is the only
parameter in the Style menu.
1
Call up the Accompaniment Split Point parameter.
Select STYLE in the Main Menu (with the MAIN MENU buttons) and use the SUB MENU buttons to
select Accompaniment Split Point.
You can also directly select the Accompaniment Split Point parameter by pressing and holding either
the STYLE or FINGERING button.
2
Set the parameter.
Set this directly by pressing the desired key on the keyboard. You can also use the numeric keypad
or +/- buttons to enter the key number. The lowest key on the keyboard (C1) is 36, while middle C
(C3) is 60, and the highest key (B5) is 95.
• The default Accompaniment Split Point is F
#
2 (54) and can be restored by simultaneously pressing the +/- buttons.
• The Accompaniment Split Point cannot be set higher than the Split Point 2 parameter (page 15).
• The Accompaniment Split Point setting is retained in memory when power is turned off, as long as batteries are
installed or an AC adaptor is connected.
