Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along 
with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind, 
however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels.

Starting the rhythm with Sync 
Start
You can also start the rhythm 
simply by playing the keyboard, 
if Sync Start is enabled (turn on 
the [SYNC START] button).

The rhythm does not sound for 
the Pianist Styles (or other similar 
Styles). When you want to use 
any of these Styles, always make 
sure that ACMP ON/OFF is 
turned on.

Makes it simple to produce 
orchestrated accompani-
ment using major, seventh, 
minor and minor-seventh 
chords by pressing a mini-
mum number of keys on the 
Chord section of the key-
board. This type is available 
only for Style playback.
The abbreviated chord fin-
gerings described at right are 
used:

Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you 
can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types.

Lets you finger your own chords on the Chord section of the keyboard, 
while the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, 
and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type rec-
ognizes the various chord types which are listed on the separate Data List 
booklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function (page 49).

Accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played 
in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing 
you to play “on bass” chords (in the Fingered mode the root of the 
chord is always used as the bass note).

Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way 
similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and 
right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a 
chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a 
melody note with your right.

Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three 
notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously 
played chord, etc.).

When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will auto-
matically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about 
anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have 
to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Key-
board type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements 
may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full 
Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to 
indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 
11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for 
Style playback.

For a major chord, 
press the root key only.

For a minor chord, 
simultaneously press the root 
key and a black key to its left.

For a seventh chord, 
simultaneously press the root 
key and a white key to its left.

For a minor-seventh chord, 
simultaneously press the root key a
both a white and black key to its left
