Auto Accompaniment
E-30
The notes you play on the keyboard are called “melody
notes”, while the notes added to the melody by auto
harmonize are called the “harmonize notes”. Auto harmonize
normally uses the tone you selected for the melody notes as
the tone for the harmonize notes, but you can use the mixer
(page E-46) to specify a different tone for the harmonize notes.
Harmonize tones correspond to mixer auto harmonize 1 and
2. This means you can specify the harmonize tones by
changing the tones assigned to auto harmonize 1 and 2.
In addition to the tone, you can also use the mixer to change
a number of other parameters, such as volume balance. See
“Changing the Parameters of a Part” on page E-47 for details
on these procedures.
The default harmonize note tone when you first turn on
auto harmonize is the same tone as the melody note tone.
Changing the melody tone setting automatically changes
the harmonize note tone to the same setting.
One-touch preset automatically makes the settings listed
below in accordance with the rhythm pattern you are using.

The metronome feature of this piano produces a bell sound
for the first beat of each measure, followed by click sounds for
each successive beat of the measure. It is the perfect tool for
practicing tunes without accompaniment (rhythm).
1. While holding down the FUNCTION button,
press the METRONOME/(BEAT) button.
2. Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to select the beat
setting you want.
You can also change the beat setting by rotating
the selector dial.
The bell (indicating the first beat of a measure) does not
sound while “0” is specified. All beats are indicated by a
click sound. This setting lets you practice with a steady
beat, without worrying about how many beats there are in
each measure.
Available choices for the meter are 0, 2/4 to 7/4, plus 9/4,
12/4, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, or 12/8 time.
The display exits the metronome setting screen if you do
not perform any operation for about 10 seconds. You can
also exit the metronome setting screen by pressing the
EXIT/NO button.
3. Press the METRONOME/(BEAT) button to start
sounding the metronome.
The lamp above the START/STOP button flashes
in time with the metronome beat.
4. While the indicator lamp above the TEMPO
buttons is lit, use the TEMPO buttons [ ]/[ ]
to adjust the tempo.
The TEMPO button indicator lamp is not lit and
tempo adjustment cannot be performed while the
menu screen is on the display. To exit the menu
screen and return to the tone/rhythm screen,
press the FUNCTION button.
[ ] (+) ..... Increase tempo (make it faster)
[ ] (–) ..... Decrease tempo (make it slower)
