accompaniment keyboard plays the chords
marked above them.
❚ PREPARATION

the tempo.

Use the MODE button to cycle
through the available accompaniment
options until the CASIO CHORD or
FINGERED indicator is shown on the
display.
• Each press of the MODE button cycles
through the accompaniment options in
the sequence shown below.
2.
Press the START/STOP button to start
the rhythm.

To turn off auto accompaniment (so
the auto accompaniment keyboard
