Full-keyboard ABC

Auto Bass Chord (ABC)

When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged (press the [FULL

KEYBOARD] button so that its indicator lights) the Clavinova will automatically

create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on

the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. You don’t have

to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although Full-keyboard

ABC is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable

for use with this feature. Try playing a few simple songs in the Full-keyboard ABC

mode to get a feel for its capabilities.

NOTES

• Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short

chords — less than an 8th note in length — may therefore not be detected.

The Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode can be engaged by pressing the

[SINGLE FINGER] and [FINGERED] buttons simultaneously (both indicators

will light). In this mode the split point is de-activated and notes played anywhere

on the keyboard are detected and used to determine the harmonization of the ac-

companiment. In the Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode, chord detection is

possible when at least three notes are played anywhere on the keyboard.

NOTES

• The Dual or SPLIT mode can be used with Full-keyboard ABC.

• The Full-keyboard and Conventional Full-keyboard ABC modes will be disen-

gaged and the Fingered mode will be engaged if Solo Styleplay is turned on.

• Solo Styleplay will automatically be turned off whenever the Full-keyboard or

Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode is engaged.

• Press the [FULL KEYBOARD] button so that its indicator goes out when you want

to exit from the FULL-KEYBOARD ABC mode. To exit from the Conventional

Full-keyboard ABC mode press the [SINGLE FINGER] or [FINGERED] button

twice.

The RHYTHM, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, and BASS volume controls can be

used to adjust the volume of the corresponding accompaniment parts when using

ABC. In general, CHORD 1 controls rhythmic chords while CHORD 2 controls

more decorative chords (arpeggios, etc.). The volume of the keyboard can be inde-

pendently controlled by using the BASS volume control while holding the [MIDI/

TRANSPOSE] button.

NOTES

• Some styles may not use all four parts: RHYTHM, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, and

BASS.

• Usually the CHORD 1 and CHORD 2 parts will not play simultaneously in the

Full-keyboard ABC mode to prevent possible conflict with the melody. The sound

of the silent part can be restored by changing the setting of the corresponding

volume control — CHORD 1 or CHORD 2.
