Using the Auto Accompaniment

Function/Multi Fingering

The Auto Accompaniment function automatically gener-

ates bass and chord accompaniment for you to play along

with, by using Multi Fingering operation. You can change

the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the

AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION of the keyboard using either the

“Single Finger” or “Fingered” method. With Single

Finger you can simply play a one-, two- or three-finger

chord indication (see Single Finger Chords below). The

Fingered technique is that of conventionally playing all the

notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the

PortaTone “understands” what chord you indicate and

then automatically generates the accompaniment

Press the root of the chord.

NOTE

Chords played in the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION of the key-

board are also detected and played when the accompaniment

is stopped (Stopped Accompaniment function). In this

condition, the Voices used for the bass and chords are

automatically selected.

NOTE

To use the Minus One function with one of the styles, press

the MINUS ONE button. (The LED next to the button lights.)

Minus One cancels all chord accompaniment, leaving only the

bass and basic rhythm of the Style.

Setting Auto Accompuniment to Single

Finger or Fingered

Though detection of the Single Finger and Fingered

methods is automatic, you can set Auto Accompa-

niment to function exclusively in either the Single

Finger or Fingered mode.

To set Auto Accompaniment to Single Finger, turn

the power off, then hold down the “-” button on the

Numeric Keypad and simultaneously turn the power

on. "SF" (Single Finger) briefly appears in the MULTI

NOTE

In Single Finger, the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION is set between

the C1 key (the lowest key) and the C

2 key.

To set Auto Accompaniment to Fingered, follow the

same steps, holding down the “+” button instead.

“F” (Fingered) briefly appears in the MULTI

DISPLAY.

To switch back to Multi Fingering operation, simply

turn the power off and on again.

tion are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh.
