Casio LK-50 Auto Accompaniment - Manual (Page 3)

E-18
❚ NOTES ❚
• Except for the chords specified in note * 1 above, inverted fingerings (i.e.
playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords
as the standard fingering.
• Except for the exception specified in note * 2 above, all of the keys that
make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key
will not play the desired FINGERED chord.
• When the key light system is turned on, the keys of the accompaniment
keyboard light to show the chord you played. Though the chord is the
same, the form of the chord (the keys that light) may differ from the one
you used (the keys you pressed). If you play C Major using the inverted
chord form E-G-C, for example, the keys for C-E-G will light.
FULL RANGE CHORD
This accompaniment method provides a total of 38 different chord
types: the 15 chord types available with FINGERED plus 23 addi-
tional types. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys
that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any
other input (that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern) is interpret-
ed as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate
accompaniment keyboard, so the entire keyboard, from end to end,
can be used for both melody and chords.
FULL RANGE CHORD Accompaniment Keyboard and
Melody Keyboard
Example: To play the chord C major.
Any of the fingerings shown in the illustration below will produce C
major.
❚ NOTES ❚
• As with the FINGERED mode (page E-17), you can play the notes that
form a chord in any combination (1).
• When the composite notes of a chord are separated by 6 or more notes,
the lowest sound becomes the bass (2).

Using an Intro Pattern
This keyboard lets you insert a short intro into a rhythm pattern to
make startup smoother and more natural.
The following procedure describes how to use the Intro feature. Be-
fore starting, you should first select the rhythm you want to use, and
set the tempo.
To insert an intro
1.
Press the INTRO button to start the selected rhythm
with an intro pattern.
• With the above setup, the intro pattern is played and the auto
accompaniment with intro pattern starts as soon as you play
chords on the accompaniment keyboard.
❚ NOTES ❚
• The standard rhythm pattern starts to play after the intro pattern is com-
plete.
• Pressing the VARIATION/FILL-IN button while an intro pattern is playing
causes the variation pattern to sound after the intro pattern is complete.
• Pressing the SYNCHRO/ENDING button while an intro pattern is playing
causes the ending pattern to sound after the intro pattern is complete.
Using a Fill-in Pattern
Fill-in patterns let you momentarily change the rhythm pattern to
add some interesting variation to your performances.
The following procedure describes how to use the Fill-in feature.
