Casio PL-40R Musical Instrument User Manual


 
E-25
Auto Accompaniment
In this mode, you specify chords by playing them as you
would on a piano, inside the accompaniment keyboard range.
To specify a C-chord, you would play C-E-G.
J FINGERED accompaniment keyboard and melody
keyboard
On the keyboard shown above, Lower1 and Lower2 are
assigned to the accompaniment keyboard range and
Upper1 and Upper2 are assigned to the melody keyboard
range.
When split is turned off (page E-20), the accompaniment
keyboard range keys do not sound any melody notes. In
this case, they are used to specify chords for the
accompaniment pattern.
You can expand the range of the accompaniment keyboard
by moving the keyboard’s split point to the right (page
E-20).
Recognized Chords
See the “Fingered/Full Range Chord Table” at the back of
this manual (page A-12) for information about the chords
that can be recognized in the Fingered Mode.
The chords that are recognized by the keyboard in the
FINGERED Mode depend on the current “On Bass
Chord”, “6th Chord”, and “Tension Chord” Accomp
settings. See “Keyboard Settings” on page E-71 for
information about Accomp settings. Information about
how settings affect the type of chords recognized by the
keyboard can be found “Fingered/Full Range Chord
Table” at the back of this manual (page A-12).
In the FINGERED Mode, you can use standard fingering
(C-E-G for a C-chord, for example) or you can use inverted
fingerings (G-E-C, for example), as long as you play chords
within the accompaniment keyboard range. Note, however,
that using an inverted fingering will produce a different
chord entirely if the “On Bass Chord” Accomp setting is
turned on.
Generally, you must press all of the keys that make up
chords. Omitting a note or playing only a single note will not
produce a chord.
This mode can be used to play up to 238 different types of
chords. Pressing three or more keys in a pattern that is
recognized as a chord pattern by the keyboard causes the
corresponding chord to be played. Playing chords in a pattern
not recognized by the keyboard or pressing two keys or one
key causes the corresponding notes to be played as melody
notes. This means that the entire range of the keyboard acts as
both a melody keyboard and accompaniment keyboard.

If there are more than six semitones between the lowest
note and the next note to the right, the lowest note is
interpreted as a bass note.
