Casio CTK-650 - Auto-Accompaniment Features

* Press this button while the variation rhythm pattern is playing in
| order to switch to the normal pattern.
| ¢ Ifyou press this button while the normal pattern is playing, a one-
| measure fill-in pattern is played and then play of normal pattern |
| continues. “
eee |
* Note that fill-in patterns can logically be inserted at specific locations inside a
chord progression. Because of this, the fill-in pattern may not sound immedi-
ately when you press a fill-in button. Instead, it will sound at the next location
that a fill-in pattern is possible.
* The fill-in patterns for rhythms 017 and 047 are two measures long. All others
are one measure long.
To play intro and ending patterns
i * When no aig thm is playing, press the INTRO button instead of the |
| START/STOP button. When you do, an intro pattern is played to
| start the normal version of the selected rhythm pattern.
| * To start play of the variation pattern, press INTRO and then VAR/
| FILL-IN,
|
|
¢ While a rhythm is playing, pressing SYNCHRO/ENDING instead
of START/STOP plays an ending pattern, after which play of the
| pattern stops.

mM Using auto-accompaniment
This keyboard features 128 accompaniment patterns that Jet you add full accompa-
niments to your performances automatically. With auto-accompaniment, part of the
keyboard is reserved as an accompaniment keyboard. As you play your chords on
the accompaniment keyboard, the accompaniment patterns adjusts automatically to
follow the progression you play.
You get a choice between two different methods for chord play. FINGERED lets you
play chords as you normally do, while CASIO CHORD makes it possible to play
fully formed ¢ hords with one finger. Note that this keyboard also features a FULL
RANGE CHORD system (page E-26) that lets you use the entire keyboard for chord
and melody play.
About the accompaniment keyboard
The lower (left) 1.5 octaves are reserved for use as an accompaniment keyboard
whenever you select CASIO CHORD or FINGERED with the MODE button. The
panel above the accompaniment keyboard keys is marked with the names of the
notes they play. The remainder of the keyboard (the part that is not included in the
accompaniment keyboard) is called the melady keyboard. Please be sure to remem-
ber these terms, because they will be used throughout the rest of this manual.
