Chapter 2 Playing Along with Rhythms
What is Session Partner?
“Session Partner” Lets You Enjoy Playing with a Session-Like Feel
“Session Partner” is an easy-to-use function that plays accompaniment in a
variety of musical styles.
Playing along with this accompaniment, with its realistic sounds, gives you
the feel that you are playing live with a band backing you.
For example, playing with “Session Partner” instead of using the
metronome always lets you practice the piano with something different.
You can also change the accompaniment as you like to suit whatever you are
playing.
By changing the chords and Rhythms, even while playing the same melody,
you can easily create all kinds of new arrangements.
We encourage you to enjoy the variety of performance options open to you
by using the “Session Partner” feature.
What You Can Do With “Session Partner”
“Session Partner” lets you mainly do the following things.
• Play piano with a session-like feel along with Rhythms while the chord
progression continues automatically (p. 28).
• Play the piano to provide your own accompaniment as you specify
chords with the left hand (the left part of the keyboard) (p. 31).
• Enjoy freer piano performances using your own original chord
progressions (p. 32).
“Session Partner” lets you add accompaniment with the “rhythms” and
performance parts you select.
You can play intros, endings, and fill-ins (short phrases inserted at transition
points in the song) by pressing buttons as you play the keyboard.
What are the FP-2’s “
Rhythms?”
The FP-2 features internal “Rhythms” complementing Pops, Jazz, and other
various musical genres.
“Rhythms,” or combinations of elements from a musical genre that recreate
the mood or signature sound of a particular style, form the foundation of the
accompaniment used in “Session Partner.”
A “Rhythm” is composed from the following three items.
• Drum Part
• Bass Part
• Chord Part
You can select the part to be played with the [Part] button.
