This refers to changes that have been made in an original 
tune, by adding a new accompaniment or by changing the 
instruments used.

Automatic Accompaniment is automatic accompaniment 
when just a few keys in the lower section of the keyboard are 
pressed to specify the chord. 

This refers to the most commonly used types of chord, which 
are generally the following six types: major chords, minor 
chords, minor seventh chords, minor seventh (5) chords, 
dominant seventh chords, and diminished seventh chords.

Notes of two or more pitches sounded simultaneously. 
Chords consisting of three notes are called “triads,” and are 
the most basic type of chord.

An effect that adds spaciousness and richness to the sound.

This is the last part of the accompaniment. When you stop 
playing the Automatic Accompaniment, the AT-90S/80S/
60S plays an Ending appropriate for the Rhythm. 

An effect that temporarily lowers the pitch and then 
gradually returns it to normal.

This is the introductory portion of an Automatic 
Accompaniment performance. The AT-90S/80S/60S plays an 
intro ideally suited to each Rhythm when it starts playing the 
Automatic Accompaniment.

When the lowest note of a chord is the root, the chord is said 
to be in “root position.” In contrast, forms of a chord in 
which other notes are the lowest pitch are called 
“inversions.”

To silence a sound. The AT-90S/80S/60S provides a Track

A unit of data that contains the performance state of the 
instrument, such as sound selections and panel settings.

concert hall.

The root note is the basis of a chord. All chords are built on a 
root note, which is the part of the chord name given in 
uppercase letters.

An effect which simulates the modulation given to the sound 
when a rotating speaker is used. The Rotary effect produces 
two types of modulation: fast or slow.

A function which allows the keyboard to be divided into two 
or more areas, and a different sound assigned to each area. 
The point at which the keyboard is divided is called the 
“Split Point.”

An effect that adds a decay to each note. The AT-90S/80S/
60S allows sustain to be applied to the voices of the upper 
part, lower part, and pedal part.

An effect that cyclically modulates the pitch.

The AT-90S/80S/60S is able to produce the sounds of 
various instruments. These sounds are called “Voices.”
