Glossary
 
Arrangement
 
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
 
Automatic Accompaniment is automatic accompaniment 
when just a few keys in the lower section of the keyboard are 
pressed to specify the chord. 
 
Basic 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.
 
Chord
 
Notes of two or more pitches sounded simultaneously. 
Chords consisting of three notes are called “triads,” and are 
the most basic type of chord.
 
Ending
 
This is the last part of the accompaniment. When you stop 
playing the Automatic Accompaniment, the AT-20S plays an 
Ending appropriate for the Rhythm. 
 
Glide
 
An effect that temporarily lowers the pitch and then 
gradually returns it to normal.
 
Intro
 
This is the introductory portion of an Automatic Accompa-
niment performance. The AT-20S plays an intro ideally 
suited to each Rhythm when it starts playing the Automatic 
Accompaniment.
 
Inversion
 
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 “inver-
sions.”
 
Mute
 
To silence a sound. The AT-20S provides a Track Mute 
function that allows you to turn off the track button indicator 
of a track on which music data has been recorded, so that the 
corresponding track will temporarily be silenced.
 
Panel Settings
 
Settings such as sound selections, tempo, Rotary fast/slow.
 
Registration
 
A unit of data that contains the performance state of the 
instrument, such as sound selections and panel settings.
 
Reverb
 
An effect that simulates the reverberation of a room or 
concert hall.
 
Root Note
 
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.
 
Rotary
 
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.
 
Sustain
 
An effect that adds a decay to each note. The AT-20S allows 
sustain to be applied to the voices of the upper part, lower 
part, and pedal part.
 
Voice
 
The AT-20S is able to produce the sounds of various instru-
ments. These sounds are called “Voices.”
