Auto Accompaniment
When you are using auto accompaniment, auto harmonize
automatically adds an additional note to your melody in
accordance with the chord that is being played. The result is a
harmony effect that makes your melody line richer and fuller.
1. Use the MODE button to select FINGERED or
CASIO CHORD as the accompaniment mode.
2. Press the AUTO HARMONIZE button to turn on
auto harmonize.
This causes the button’s indicator lamp to light,
indicating that auto harmonize is turned on.
At this point you could use the [ ] and [ ]
buttons or the selector dial to select the type of
auto harmonize you want to use. See “Auto
Harmonize Types” below for more information.
The display exits the auto harmonize setting
screen if you do not perform any operation for
about 10 seconds. You can also exit the auto
harmonize setting screen by pressing the EXIT/
NO button.
3. Start auto accompaniment play, and play
something on the keyboard.
Harmonize notes are added automatically to the
notes you play in the melody keyboard range.
4. To turn off auto harmonize, press the AUTO
HARMONIZE button again.
This causes the button’s indicator lamp to go out,
indicating that auto harmonize is turned off.
If you have two tones (Upper1, Upper2) layered on the
keyboard, harmonize notes are added to both.
Auto harmonize is enabled only when the auto
accompaniment mode is Fingered or CASIO Chord.
