Playing a manual accompaniment (Bass &
Lower Backing)
You can play a simple manual accompaniment, where the chord you play
with your left hand is split between the Bass (chord root) and Lower (the
remaining notes) Sounds.
Playing the manual accompaniment
1 Be sure the Bass & Lower Backing function is active. When it is, the Backing
icon appears in the Lower Sound’s area.
If the icon does not appear, see below how to activate it.
2 Be sure the SPLIT indicator is turned on, and the automatic accompaniment
is not running.
3 Play a chord sequence with your left hand.
Notice how the chord root is played by the Bass Sound, while the remaining
chord notes are played by the Lower Sound (even if it is muted).
Turning the Bass & Lower Backing function on or off
1 Go to the Global > Mode Preferences > Style 2 page.
2 Select or deselect the Bass & Lower Backing checkbox to activate or deac-
tivate the function.
