Change chords using the Auto Accompaniment feature.
Try playing some chords in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard, and notice how the
bass and chord accompaniment change with each chord you play. (Refer to the section “Changing
the Fingering Mode” on page 24 for more information.) The chord name recognized will be shown
in the display.
• When the Single or Fingered Fingering mode (pages 25, 26) is selected, chords played in the Auto Accompaniment
section of the keyboard are also detected and played when the accompaniment is stopped. In this condition (Stopped
Accompaniment function), the Voices used for the bass and chords are automatically selected.
•
The range of the Auto Accompaniment section can be changed; see “Changing the Accompaniment Split Point” (page 26).

Change the tempo of the Style, if you wish.
Use the TEMPO buttons to change the tempo of the Style.
Press TEMPO to increase the speed and TEMPO to decrease it; holding down the appropriate
button continuously increases/decreases the speed. The tempo value appears in the display. Tempo
range is from 32 to 280 bpm (in 1 bpm steps).
To reset the tempo to its original default setting, press both TEMPO buttons simultaneously.
• Default Tempos — Each Song and Style has been given a default or standard tempo. If you change the tempo,
you can set it back to the original default setting, by pressing both TEMPO buttons simultaneously. Also, the tempo
of a Song or Style returns to the default setting when selecting a different Song or Style. If a Style is playing and the
One Touch Setting is off (see page 27), the set tempo remains even when switching Styles. When you turn on the
power of the PortaTone, the tempo is automatically set to the default setting of Style 01.

Change the Style section (Main A , Main B, or Jam Track), if you wish.
Main A and Main B
While the Style is playing, you can add variation in the rhythm/accompaniment by pressing the
MAIN/AUTO FILL A or B button. This automatically plays one of four Fill-in patterns, and smoothly
leads into the next section — even if it is the same section.
