Improvising with the preset patterns
Pressing the START/STOP button to start rhythm play causes
the normal version of the pattern to be played. You can also
play a variation of the rhythm using the operation described
below.
Using fill-in rhythm
You can insert a fill-in rhythm by pressing the SYNCHRO/
FILL-IN button while an auto-rhythm plays.
Using Synchro start
You can start the rhythm and accompaniment pattern at the
same time, with your play of the accompaniment keyboard.
To do this, follow the steps below.
1.
Set the POWER/MODE selector to the CASIO
CHORD or FINGERED position.
2.
Select an auto-rhythm.
3.
Press the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN button.
4.
Press the accompaniment keys to play the first
chord. As soon as you do, the auto-
accompaniment pattern begins to play.
5.
To stop the auto-accompaniment pattern play,
press the START/STOP button.
❚ NOTE
• If you set the POWER/MODE selector to NORMAL in step 1 on
page E-17, the operation in step 4 starts play of the rhythm
(percussion instruments) only.
IMPORTANT!
• If you play one or two notes only in the left hand, or three
notes that do not make up a recognizable chord formation,
no sound will be produced. The FINGERED mode requires
a conventional three or four-note chord formation to
produce an auto-accompaniment. Also, note that auto-
chords only work in conjunction with rhythm patterns, and
not independently of them.
❚ NOTE
• The above examples show only one of the possible fingerings
for each chord. Note that you can play the notes that form a
chord in any combination. Each of the following fingerings for
example, produces the same C chord.
