Using Auto Accompaniment

With auto accompaniment, the keyboard
automatically plays rhythm, bass, and chord parts in
accordance with chords you select using simplified
keyboard fingerings, or chords you play. Auto
accompaniment makes it feel like you have your own
private backup group with you all the time.
