Using Auto Accompaniment
With Auto Accompaniment, simply select the
accompaniment rhythm you want and the matching
accompaniment (drums, guitar, etc.) will play
automatically when you play a chord with your left
hand. It’s like having your own personal backup group
along with you wherever you go.
This Digital Piano has 180 built-in Auto
Accompaniment patterns, which are divided into three
groups. You can edit built-in rhythms to create your
own original rhythms (called “user rhythms”), which
you can save in a fourth group. For more information,
see the “Rhythm List” (page A-4).
