Playing Backing Parts with the Performance Assistant Technology
This feature lets you play your own backing parts on the keyboard along with Song playback, and have them
sound perfectly appropriate (even though you might be playing wrong notes).
1 Select a Song containing chord data.
The Performance assistant technology is applied only to a Song containing chord data. To confirm whether
the selected Song contains chord data or not, return to the Main display then start playback. If the current
Song contains chord data, the Main display shows the current chord type. After stopping playback, go to
the next step.
2 Call up the operation display.
[FUNCTION]  TA B [E] MENU 1  [H] SONG SETTING  TAB[F] OTHERS
3 Use the [6 ]/[7 ] buttons to turn “P.A.T.” (performance assistant technology) on.
4 Press the SONG [F/ K] (PLAY/PAUSE) button to start playback.
5 Play the keyboard.
Along with Song playback, try playing the bass line with the left hand area while playing various phrases
or chords with the right hand area. Even if you do not know what notes should be played, don’t worry and
play any keys as desired! Only the harmonically “correct” notes matching the current chord are sounded,
regardless of the notes you actually play.
6 Press the [J] (STOP) button to stop playback.
After you finish playing, make sure to turn P.A.T. off.
NOTE Selecting another Song resets P.A.T. to OFF.
