About Auto Harmonize notes and tones
The notes you play on the keyboard are called “melody notes,” while
the notes added to the melody by Auto Harmonize is called the “har-
monize notes.” Auto Harmonize normally uses the tone you selected
for the melody notes as the tone for the harmonize notes, but you can
use the Mixer (page E-28) to specify a different tone for the harmo-
nize notes.
The harmonize note tone is assigned to Mixer Channel 2, so change
Channel 2 to the tone you want to use for the harmonize notes.
In addition to the tone, you can also use the Mixer to change a num-
ber of other parameters, such as volume balance. See “Changing the
Parameters of a Channel” on page E-30 for details on these proce-
dures.
❚ NOTES ❚
• The default harmonize note tone when you first turn on Auto Harmonize
is the same tone as the melody note tone.
• Changing the melody tone setting automatically changes the harmo-
nize note tone to the same setting.

Using Free Session
This keyboard comes pre-programmed with a collection of “Free Ses-
sions,” which are Auto Accompaniments that automatically match
chord progression, tone, tempo and other settings to the currently
selected rhythm pattern. Starting a Free Session causes the entire key-
board to become a melody keyboard for play along with the repeat-
ing chord progression of the Free Session.
Pre-programmed settings in accordance with the selected rhythm
pattern are used whenever Free Session is turned on.

• Keyboard tone and volume
• Layer or Auto Harmonize on/off
• Layered tone and volume (when layer is turned on) or harmonize

sion is turned on.

❚ NOTES ❚
• The default root note of the first chord is C (See “Free Session Chord

ent root by pressing the corresponding key within the accompaniment
keyboard instead of START/STOP in the above procedure.
• You can also use the INTRO, NORMAL/FILL-IN, VARIATION/FILL-IN,
and SYNCHRO/ENDING buttons while Free Session accompaniment
is playing.
• Tone and tempo settings can be changed while a Free Session Auto
Accompaniment is playing. The rhythm pattern can also be changed
while a Free Session Auto Accompaniment is playing, but the chord
progression does not change in this case unless you stop Auto Accom-
paniment and restart it.
• You must stop the Auto Accompaniment to change the root note of the
first chord.
• Changing to a rhythm pattern with a different meter can affect chord
change timing.
