Playing the Instrument Stand-alone
The instrument features various accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a
variety of different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many others. The Style features Auto
Accompaniment which detects the “chords” automatically, and lets you produce automatic accompaniment
playback simply by playing the keyboard. This lets you automatically recreate the sound of a full band or
orchestra — even if you’re playing by yourself. Styles 01 to 100 can be selected by using the instrument.
1 Press the [STYLE] button, and then use the [+] and [-] buttons to select the desired
Style.
Pressing the [STYLE] button repeatedly alternates the Style category.
2 Press the [R/J] (Start/Stop) button to start playback.
To adjust the tempo, use the [TEMPO] button (page 26).
3 As you play the keyboard using both hands, the auto accompaniment changes
along with your performance.
By default, just playing anywhere on the keyboard using both hands as you like, the instrument
detects the chords and plays the accompaniment along with your performance automatically.
If you set the Chord Detection Area to “Lower” by using Smart Pianist, a specifically assigned
left-hand section of the keyboard is used to specify chords, and chords played in this section are
detected and used as a basis for automatic accompaniment with the selected Style. To restore
the default setting, select “Full” as the Chord Detection Area.
4 After you finish your performance, press the [R/J] (Start/Stop) button to stop
playback.
