Accompaniment
The Accompaniment function provides arpeggiated
chords and other instrumental embellishments when
rhythms are used.
Accompaniment controls are selected from the Rhythm
Menu and Rhythm Condition display.
1 Press any one of the RHYTHM buttons
once.
At the bottom of the display, there are seven part
buttons, such as Chord 1, Chord 2, Pad, and so on.
These parts, with the exception of Main Drum and
Add Drum, are Accompaniment parts.
2 Turn the desired parts on.
The Accompaniment consists of five parts, Chord 1,
Chord 2, Pad, Phrase 1, and Phrase 2, and each of
them can be set to on or off by pressing
corresponding button in the display.
If you turn all the parts off, the Accompaniment
does not sound.
CHORD 1/CHORD 2:
These are the rhythmic chord backing parts.
PAD:
This part features sustained chords and commonly
uses lush sounds such as strings and organ.
PHRASE 1/PHRASE 2:
These parts are used for various embellishments and
riffs that enhance the Song, such as brass section
accents and chord arpeggios.
Not all parts contain accompaniment data. Some
parts may be empty depending on the selected
rhythm and rhythm section.
3 Adjust the volume and amount of reverb
applied to the Accompaniment.
Pressing the same rhythm button on the panel again
calls up the Rhythm Condition display.
The two sliders at the right side of the display can
control the Accompaniment volume and reverb.
Touch the slider in the display or use the Data
Control dial to adjust the volume/reverb.
Accompaniment parts
Main Drum and Add Drum contains drum and
percussion rhythm patterns.
When you turn both Main Drum and Add Drum off,
the drum and percussion do not sound. Generally,
Main Drum contains the main part of the rhythm
and Add drum has additional percussion sounds,
such as tambourine.
