Fingered

The player must play at least three notes of a chord below the split point (LEFT/
SPLIT Part) before the ACC System will recognize the chord type. (See page 196
for chord table.)

One Finger

Uses a simplified chord method that allows beginners to specify a chord type by
playing only one or two notes below the split point. The types of chords that can
be recognized in this manner are limited to Major, Minor, 7th and Major 7th.
While the player can trigger basic chords with as little as one finger, the ACC
System will recognize more complex chord types if you play them, even you are
in the One Finger mode.

Full Keyboard

The player must play at least three notes of a chord anywhere across the 88 keys
before the ACC System will recognize the chord type. This mode is similar to
Fingered however, Full Keyboard recognizes chord types from three or more
notes played anywhere across the 88 keys not just below the split point.

Bass Inversion

When Bass Inversion is on, the Bass Section of the Style will follow the lowest note of the chord
voicing played on the keyboard. With Bass Inversion on it is possible to specify a chord over a
certain bass note by the chord voicing you play. For example, a C chord over a G bass, or a Bb7
chord over a C Bass. Bass Inversion will work with all three key recognition modes but when in
One Finger mode, you play at least two notes of a chord for Bass Inversion to function.

To turn Auto-accompaniment (ACC) on:

1) Select a Style that you would like to play.
2) Press one of the ACCOMPANIMENT buttons to select the Key Recognition mode. The selected Key

recognition mode will be displayed at the bottom of the LCD screen if you're on the main play screen.

3) Press the BASS INVERSION button if you would like to turn it on.
4) Press the ACC ON/OFF button to activate the Auto-accompaniment System (ACC).
5) Press the START/STOP button to start the Style, and play some chords in the LEFT/SPLIT Part. You

will hear the Style start and also change keys and chord types as you play different chords.

6) If you want to cancel or stop the Auto-accompaniment, press the ACC ON/OFF button again. If you

turn the ACC off without stopping the Style the drum rhythms will continue to play.
