• The [ACCOMPANIMENT ON/
OFF] button can also be used to
turn off and on the bass/chord
accompaniment while playing —
allowing you to create dynamic
rhythmic breaks in your perfor-
mance.
• Chords played in the ACMP sec-
tion of the keyboard are also
detected and played when the
accompaniment is stopped. In
effect, this gives you a “split key-
board,” with bass and chords in
the left hand and the normally
selected voice in the right.
