It’s like having your own personal backup group along with you wherever you go. This Digital Piano has 180 built-in Auto Accompaniment patterns, which are divided into seven groups. You can edit built-in rhythms to create your own original rhythms (called “user rhythms”), which you can save in a eighth group. For more information, see the “Rhythm List” (page A-5). 1. Press the bn (RHYTHM) button so its upper lamp is lit. This enables Auto Accompaniment. • Each press of the button toggles between the RHYTHM and USER SONGS lamps. 2. Use the “Rhythm List” (page A-5) to look up the group and the number of the rhythm you want to select. 3. Use the 5 to bm (rhythm groups) buttons to select the group you want. Example: When the LATIN group is selected 4. Use the ct (w, q) buttons to select the rhythm you want. Example: When “005 Samba 2” is selected 5. Use the ck (TEMPO, w, q) buttons to adjust the tempo setting. • This is the same as metronome tempo adjustment (page E-13). • To return the rhythm to its standard tempo setting, press the ck (TEMPO, w, q) buttons at the same time. bn56789bkblbmctckbtbrbsdrcsbobpbqdmdpcmcncocpdndoPlaying an Auto Accompaniment Lit Lit Rhythm number Rhythm name Measure Tempo E-17 Using Auto Accompaniment 6.
