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.
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, go to the Global > Mode Preferences > Style 2
page and select the Bass & Lower Backing checkbox to activate the func-
tion. (Also, you can deactivate the function in the same page).
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).
