RHYTHM section parameters
Rhythm Style
Sets the style for the rhythm.
Rhythm Tempo
Sets the playback tempo of the rhythm. The tempo can be set within a range of ? =40.00–300.00.
Tip:
Turn the value dial to edit the integer values. Turn the value dial while holding down the ENTER button to
fine-tune the decimal values. For instance, when the tempo value is 100.12 and you turn the value dial, the value
changes to 101.00, 102.00 and so on, or to 99.00, 98.00 and so on.
Drums Level
Sets the drum volume.
Bass Level
Sets the bass volume.
Bass Inversion
Sets whether to recognize the lowest note of the chord you play on the keyboard as the bass note or
not.
On: The lowest note of any inverted chord you play is regarded as the bass note of that chord. This
lets you specify the bass notes in compound chords, such as Am7/G or F/G.
Off: The root note and bass note are always considered to be the same for the chords you play,
regardless of their inversion.
Chord Lock
Chord Lock is a function that holds the current chord that’s being recognized by auto-accompani-
ment, and limits moving to chords that are different.
For instance, if you want to make the instrument recognize an E chord and then you want to play a
solo phrase over that chord, the auto-accompaniment doesn’t respond to any other chord you play
besides an E chord as part of the phrase, thus keeping E as the base.
When you set this to a setting besides “Off”, chords continue to be recognized while you’re either
pressing or releasing the pedal. This lets you freely play the keyboard along with auto-accompani-
ment that matches the chords that are being held. When you want to go to the next chord, release (or
press) the pedal and play the new chord on the keyboard.
Note:
By default, the MIDI CC#15 message turns chord lock on/off.
Note:
You can also control the chord lock function via foot switch or a MIDI CC#15 message.
→ Foot - Switch (foot switch functions)
Off: The chords you play on the keyboard are instantly recognized and updated.
by Damper Off: The chord that was recognized just before you took your foot off the damper pedal is
held. The auto-accompaniment keeps playing without changing the chords you play on the keyboard.
by Damper On: The chord that was recognized just before you pressed the damper pedal is held. The
auto-accompaniment keeps playing without changing the chords you play on the keyboard.
Tip:
When Scan Zone is set to “All”, you can play over the entire keyboard while the chords you play on the key-
board are used as chord data for the auto-accompaniment.
