Keyboard Settings

E-78

*1. Rhythm elements are preset with optimum default mixer settings, which are normally applied automatically when you use

auto accompaniment. Turning on “Mixer Hold” uses your settings instead of the preset defaults.

*2. This setting is mainly used with the FINGERED auto accompaniment mode, and it helps to turn it on when you want to play

“on bass chords” within the relatively limited accompaniment keyboard range. You can leave this setting off if you are playing
both the bass note and the other notes of the chord in the accompaniment keyboard range. Even when “On Bass Chord” is
turned off, a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range with a fingering that separates the lowest note and the next lowest
note by five tones or more is always interpreted as an “on bass chord” whose root is the lowest note.

*3. Examples

Off: Interpreted as Am

7

On: Interpreted as C

6

Setting: Accomp
