56 5. Styles (Rhythm and Accompaniment)
Selecting “A.B.C. Menu” calls up the following display, from which you can make
A.B.C. settings:
Mode
Off
The Off mode automatically produces chord accompaniment for chords played in the Lower
keyboard. (Bass lines are not produced; you can play bass lines manually from the Pedalboard.)
This mode is similar to the Custom A.B.C. mode in that you play all the notes of the chord
while the Auto Bass Chord function automatically selects the appropriate chord patterns. (Refer
to the Fingered Mode Chords chart on page 58.)
Single Finger mode
The Single Finger mode provides the fastest and easiest means to obtain many different
chord/bass combinations, by simply using one, or at most, two or three fingers to play the
chords. (Refer to the Single Finger Mode Chords chart on page 57.) When this is selected, Pedal
Voices cannot be played from the Pedalboard (regardless of the volume setting).
Fingered Chord mode
The Fingered Chord mode automatically produces bass and chord accompaniment for chords
played in the Lower keyboard. It allows you to use a wider range of chord types than in the
Single Finger mode. In the Fingered Chord mode, you play all the notes of the chord while the
Auto Bass Chord function automatically selects the appropriate bass and chord patterns. (Refer
to the Fingered Mode Chords chart on page 58.) When this is selected, Pedal Voices cannot be
played from the Pedalboard (regardless of the volume setting).
Custom A.B.C.
This is similar to Fingered Chord above (and uses the same chord indications), except that it lets
you determine the bass notes of the A.B.C. accompaniment by playing a note on the Ped-
alboard, along with the chords you play in the Lower keyboard. The Custom A.B.C. mode
automatically produces a bass line based on the note you play on the Pedalboard.
