Auto Bass Chord (ABC)
Individual Part Volume Control
The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S has five accompaniment parts — RHYTHM,
BASS, CHORD, PAD, and PHRASE. — that function as follows:
RHYTHM This is the main rhythm part. The RHYTHM part usually plays one
of the drum kits.
BASS The BASS part always plays a bass line, but the voice will change
to fit the selected style … acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.
CHORD This part provides the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required
by each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instru-
ments here.
PAD This part plays long chords where necessary, using sustained
instruments such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE This is where the musical embellishments reside. The PHRASE
part is used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other
extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.
The volume of the RHYTHM, BASS, CHORD, PAD, and PHRASE ac-
companiment parts can be individually adjusted via the volume parameters
accessed by the [MIXER] button. Select the part you want to control by first
pressing the appropriate LCD button, then use the data dial or [+]/[–] buttons
to set the volume as required. The normal volume level for any part (“90”)
can be instantly recalled by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [–] buttons
while the desired part is selected. Several parts can be selected at once by
pressing their buttons at the same time. The volume of all selected parts can
then be adjusted simultaneously. The mixer parameters will disappear when
the [MIXER] button is pressed a second time (or the [EXIT] button is
pressed).
Some styles may not use all five
parts.
The volume level can be adjusted
in two steps intervals.
The second page of the MIXER display (accessed via the PAGE buttons)
includes individual volume parameters for the keyboard (manually played
sound) and harmony function sound — see page 41 for details on the Har-
mony function. There’s also a PRESET LCD button in this page which in-
stantly resets all MIXER volume parameters to their default values (100 for
KBD part, and 90 for all other parts).
