2 Start the selected Pianist accompaniment.
The Pianist accompaniment starts automatically when you play a key or chord in the left-hand
(accompaniment) section of the keyboard. You can perform along with the accompaniment by playing the
melody with your right hand.
For details on playing the accompaniment chords, see "Using the Pianist Accompaniment – Multi
Fingering” below.
n You can change the Pianist style even if another style is playing.
3 Stop the accompaniment.
Press the PIANIST STYLE or START/STOP button. The accompaniment stops with a short pattern.
Using the Pianist Accompaniment – Multi Fingering
Pianist feature automatically generates professional-quality piano accompaniment for you to play along with,
by using Multi Fingering operation.
To change the chords of the accompaniment, simply play the appropriate keys in the CHORD section of the
keyboard (E0 - F 2) using either the "Single Finger" or "Fingered" method. With Single Finger you can
simply play a one-, two- or three-finger chord indication (see Single Finger Chords below). The Fingered
technique is that of conventionally playing all the notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the YPR-
50 "understands" what chord you indicate and then automatically generates the accompaniment.
Single Finger Chords
Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh. The
illustration below shows how to produce the four chord types. (The key of C is used here as an example;
other keys follow the same rules. For example, B 7 is played as B and A.)
