This manual explains how to use the Yamaha DX1 Electone's Automatic Accompaniment system. It details three primary methods: Single Finger Chord for playing major chords with one key, Fingered Chord for manually forming complex chords, and Custom A.B.C. for advanced harmonic structures using both keyboards.
The document also covers related features such as the Auto Arpeggio function, which creates sparkling backgrounds based on held notes, and the Memory function to sustain accompaniment without holding keys. Additionally, it provides information on accessory jacks like Headphone, Aux.In/Out, and Exp.In.
Press only one note on the Lower Keyboard; the system will automatically play the corresponding major chord.
For minor chords, press the root key and any black key to its left. For seventh chords, press the root key and any white key to its left.
Fingered Chord allows you to form chords manually while the system selects the bass note automatically. Custom A.B.C. allows further participation by pressing specific pedals for the chord, enabling complex harmonic structures.
