Auto-Accompaniment
For auto-accompaniment, the keyboard is divided into two sections at the “Auto A.Split” point. The keys to
the left of this point are defined as the accompaniment section of the keyboard. The default key for this point is
G1. A different split point for the auto-accompaniment can be assigned in the Function menu. Please see
the Function section of this manual for more information.
In addition to the Drum part, the rhythm styles can provide a fully orchestrated accompaniment with bass and
additional instruments, following the chords played on the keyboard.
Auto-Accompaniment Split Point
The Symphony has three auto-accompaniment chord fingering modes.
Press the
ACCOMP
button until the indicator light for the desired
Fingering mode is selected.
Auto-Accompaniment Chord Fingering
When all three accompaniment mode indicators are off, the auto-accompaniment function is disengaged and
only the Drum part of the rhythm styles will play.
SINGLE MODE
Single mode makes it easy to produce four types of orchestrated accompaniment chords using a minimum
number of fingers (one, two, or three fingers at the most). In this mode, playing keys in the accompaniment
section of the keyboard can generate:
Major Chord:
Press any key in the auto-accompaniment section of the keyboard. The key you press determines
the root note of the major chord.
Minor Chord:
Press the root key and any black key to its left simultaneously.
Seventh Chord:
Press the root key and any white key to its left simultaneously.
Minor-Seventh Chord:
Press the root key and any pair of black and white keys to its left simultaneously.
FINGERED MODE
The fingered mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on the keyboard. It allows you to play the
chords in the auto-accompaniment section of the keyboard to produce the selected auto-accompaniment
pattern. The Fingering Guide table at the back of this manual lists all of the 31 recognizable chords of this mode.
NOTE: If a chord played cannot be recognized, the previous chord will keep playing.
