Using Automatic Accompaniment

Music Style and Automatic Accompaniment

What is Automatic Accompaniment?

With the KF-90, just by pressing the One Touch Program [Arranger] button,

you can select Automatic Accompaniment. Automatic Accompaniment is a

feature that immediately plays an optimal accompaniment based on the

accompaniment pattern of the Music Style and the chords you finger on the

keyboard. Using Automatic Accompaniment, you can play with an

impressive accompaniment, even when you perform alone. Also, by

varying the Music Style, accompaniment pattern, and chords, you can easily

enjoy a wide range of arrangements of the same song.

For information on how to play Automatic Accompaniment, see “Choosing

a Music Style” (p. 70).

What’s a Music Style?

A Music Style is an accompaniment style that has been designed to fit in

with a particular musical style.

There are many different varieties of music around the world, and each one

has its own unique features. What gives jazz its “jazziness” and classical

music its unmistakable classical feel is the unique combination of elements,

such as the instruments used, melody, and phrasing, which interact to create

the musical character of the genre. A Music Style makes use of such

elements to bring out the distinctive atmosphere and mood of each musical

genre.

The Makeup of a Music Style

A Music Style is made up of a set of six performance states called

“Divisions.”

Also, a Music Style is made up of five performance parts: “Rhythm,” “Bass,”

“Accompaniment 1,” “Accompaniment 2,” and “Accompaniment 3.”
