USING A STYLE
A Style is a preprogrammed 
accompaniment pattern consisting 
of drums, bass and four chord (or 
obbligato) phrases which you can 
play along with, responding to 
the key you specify.

The CP has 128 built-in Style 
presets selected from various 
types of music.

Song Stylist is a powerful and 
instantly satisfying feature that 
greatly simplifies the process of 
setting up the CP when you want 
to perform a particular song.

SELECTING A STYLE
The Styles are categorized into 
14 groups, each having a 
dedicated Style select button on 
the front panel.

To select a Style:

1) Press the STYLE button for the 
category of your choice. The 
Style Selection menu will be 
displayed on the screen.

2) Press the L or R button 
closest to the on-screen name of 
the Style you wish to select .  
3)If you don't see your desired 
Style in the currently displayed 
list, you can use the F1 and F2 
buttons (STYLE GROUP) to go 
through the other groups,  press 
another STYLE button to jump to 
another group, or turn the Dial 
to scroll through all the Styles 
one after another.

4) If you wish play the selected 
Style, press either the 
START/STOP button to start the 
Style playing immediately, or the 
INTRO/ENDING button to start the 
Style with an Intro phrase, or 
the SYNC/FADE OUT button to have 
the CP wait until the moment you 
press a key before starting the 
Style.

5) To adjust the tempo of the 
Style, make sure Tempo is 
selected in the main play screen 
and then turn the Dial.
You can also use the TAP TEMPO 
button.  Tap the button three or 
more times at the desired tempo, 
and the CP will automatically 
translate that into an on-screen 
value.

6) To stop the Style, press 
either, the START/STOP button to 
stop the Style immediately, or 
the INTRO/ENDING button to stop 
with an ending phrase, or the 
SYNC/FADE OUT button have the 
music fade out gradually.

When you are in the main play 
screen, you can select a Style by 
just using the Dial.  Press the 
L1 button or F2-F3 (STYLE) and 
the Style name will become boxed.  
Then turn the Dial or press the 
F2-F3 button to go through the 
Styles.

The CP remembers the last Style 
selection that you made from 
within each group as long as the 
power is on.  When you press a 
STYLE button, the CP will 
automatically select the Style 
previously chosen in the same 
group.

When you switch from one Style to 
another while it is running, the 
new Style will wait until the 
beginning of the next measure 
before taking over.



FILL-IN AND VARIATIONS
Each Style is made of four 
patterns called Variations and 
four Fill-ins.  

Fill-ins are temporary 
embellishments that can add 
excitement and rhythmic change to 
a playing Style. To use a Fill-
in, just press one of the FILL IN 
buttons.  You will hear the fill 
phrase immediately start playing 
from a rhythmically appropriate 
spot.

To select a Variation, press one 
of the three VARIATION buttons 
that are not lit (the lit button 
is the Variation that is 
currently playing).  The pattern 
will change on the first beat of 
the next measure.

You can set the CP to 
automatically place a Fill-in as 
the switch from one Variation to 
the other.  Select your preferred 
option in the Fill-in mode. 


AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT
Auto-accompaniment is a powerful 
feature that controls how the 
Concert Performer reacts to your 
playing and intelligently 
contributes to your performance.  
It is based upon your ability to 
instruct the CP as to the key 
that you wish to play in.  There 
are three modes of key 
recognition-One Finger, 
Fingered, and Full Keyboard. Your 
choice of which of these to use 
depends on your skill level and 
desired musical style.

Fingered	
Player has to play all the notes 
that make up a chord within the 
Left Part.  The CP piano 
recognizes 61 chord types as well 
as most of their inversions.  
(See page 162 for chord table.)

One Finger	
In addition to Fingered, a 
simplified chord method is 
available that allows beginners 
to specify a chord by playing 
only one or two notes.  Types of 
simplified chords that can be 
recognized, however, are limited 
to Major, Minor, and 7th.

Full Keyboard	
This method is basically 
identical to Fingered.  However, 
Full Keyboard recognizes keys 
from the notes played anywhere 
across the 88 keys.


Bass Inversion
When Bass Inversion is on, the 
bass part of the accompaniment 
responds to the lowest note 
played in the Left Part 
regardless of the overall key 
recognized as a result of the 
other notes played.

To turn Auto-accompaniment on:

1)	Select a Style that you 
would like to play.
2)	Press one of the 
ACCOMPANIMENT buttons to select 
the mode.  The mode will be 
displayed at the bottom in the 
LCD screen if you're in the main 
play screen.
3)	Press the BASS INVERSION 
button if you would like to turn 
it on.
4)	Press the ACC ON/OFF button 
to activate the accompaniment 
function.
5)	Press the START/STOP button 
to start the music, and play some 
chords in the LEFT Part.  You 
will hear the accompaniment start 
and change keys as you play 
different chords.
6)	If you want to cancel or 
stop the Auto-accompaniment, 
press the ACC ON/OFF button 
again.

When you play along with the 
Auto-accompaniment using the 
Fingered or Full Keyboard modes, 
you may hear two sounds playing 
the chords: one is selected by 
the front panel and the other is 
preprogrammed for the Style.  
This is because the sounds used 
by the Auto-accompaniment Style 
are independent of the Left and 
Right Part sound settings.  
Therefore you will hear the 
instrument sounds played by your 
hand as well as those generated 
by the accompaniment.

In most cases, these are just 
duplicate notes being played 
using the different sounds.  In 
some cases however, you may hear 
different notes in an unexpected 
chord inversion.  If the overall 
musical effect is undesirable, 
just make the Left Part inactive 
and let the accompaniment play 
alone. 

You can use the Auto-
accompaniment function without 
the Style running.  In this way 
you can make use of the chord 
recognition without having the 
preprogrammed rhythms or patterns 
playing.  Just turn the ACC on 
and play without starting the 
Style.  You will hear the bass 
and chord parts only.  This may 
be useful when you play a musical 
piece that is not played with 
drums.

The accompaniment sounds are 
preprogrammed to best suit the 
different Styles, and you cannot 
alter them.  When playing in One 
Finger mode, however, you can 
replace the chord sound with the 
sound chosen for the Left Part.  
Assign your preferred sound and 
make the Left Part active.


1-2 PLAY
If you have found a Style which 
appeals to you, but have no idea 
as to what sounds you should 
assign to the different Parts, 
try using 1-2 Play.  This feature 
presents you with a preprogrammed 
panel setup with suggested 
settings for the Style you have 
chosen.

To use 1-2 Play:

1) Select the Style you would 
like to play.

2) Press the 1-2 PLAY button.  
The 1-2 Play Indicator will 
become lit, and the words "1-2 
Play" be displayed in the main 
play screen.

3) Start the Style.

4) Press the 1-2 PLAY button 
again to turn it off.




REGISTRATION
A Registration is a setup that 
remembers most of the panel 
settings, such as Style choices 
and sound selections, so that you 
can recall them at the touch of a 
button and play music quickly 
instead of spending your time 
trying to call up all the 
settings and values manually.
In addition to the 64 
preprogrammed Registrations, you 
can store 40 setups of your own.

To use a Registration:

1) Press the REGIST. GROUP 
button.  The Registration Group 
menu will be displayed.

2) Choose the particular Group 
from the list using the L and R 
buttons.

3) Press one of the eight 
REGISTRATION buttons, each of 
which calls up a Registration 
from your selected group.

4) To leave, press the EXIT 
button.

Use the L and R buttons to select 
the Group.  Then press one of 
eight REGISTRATION buttons to 
call the desired setup.

The CP remembers how the front 
panel was setup before you chose 
a Registration so that after 
exiting the Registration, the 
prior settings will be restored. 

You don't always have to begin 
with the REGIST. GROUP button 
when selecting a Registration if 
you are already aware of which 
Group you are in.  Pressing one 
of the REGISTRATION buttons will 
bring up a specific setup in that 
group.  Just as long as the CP 
hasn't been turned off, it 
remembers the Group chosen last 
even if no Registration setup is 
currently in use.
You cannot use the 1-2 Play and 
Registration features at the same 
time.  One always turns the other 
off.

To create your own Registration:

1) Set up the panel settings in 
the way that you'd like to save 
it.

2) Press the SAVE button.  The 
Registration Group menu will be 
displayed.

3) Use the R1-R5 buttons to 
select the Group to save in.

4) Then press one of eight 
REGISTRATION buttons where you 
want it saved specifically.

5) To leave, press the EXIT 
button.

Press one of the REGISTRATION 
buttons where you want your 
current setup saved.

The following settings can be 
stored in a Registration:
Sound (Solo, Right1, Right2, 
Left), Split point, Style and 
Variation, Fill-in mode, Tempo, 
Accompaniment settings, Mixer 
settings, Effect settings, 
Harmony, Voicing, Detune, 
Resonance and Pedal functions.

You can save your Registrations 
on a floppy disk and load them 
into the CP later.



STYLE LOCK
Pressing the STYLE LOCK button 
holds the current Style even if 
another Registration is selected.  
This is useful if you wish keep 
using the same Style but have 
other settings change.



SONG STYLIST
If you know the melody and even 
the title of a popular song that 
you'd like to play but really 
don't know what specific sounds 
or Styles would best suit it, the 
Song Stylist is the perfect 
feature for you.  You simply pick 
the name of a song, and the 
Concert Performer sets up 
everything else.

The CP has 400 built-in song 
titles.  You may search for your 
favorite title either 
alphabetically by song name, or 
by song category.

Not only that, but you can expand 
the title database using floppy 
disks!  

To use the Song Stylist:

1) Press the SONG STYLIST button.  
The song selection menu will come 
up.

2) Use the SEARCH BY CATEGORY 
buttons (F1, F2) to go get to the 
song category to which your 
desired song belongs.  The name 
of category is shown at the top 
of the screen.  Or use the SEARCH 
BY NAME buttons (F4, F5) to 
search for the title in 
alphabetical order.  You may use 
the Dial to go through the names 
in either search method.

3) If you look for a song from a 
floppy disk, press the DISK 
button (F6).  

4) Use the L and R buttons to 
select one of ten songs displayed 
in the screen.  Then press the 
SELECT button (F7), and the CP 
returns to the main play screen 
with all of the loaded settings 
displayed. 

5) Start the Style and play.

6) To quit the Song Stylist, 
press the SONG STYLIST button 
again or press the EXIT button.


You may use different Sounds, 
Styles, Tempo and other settings 
to customize to your taste.

When using a floppy disk, the 
Song Stylist is able to retrieve 
the melody data and chord 
sequence data as well.  The chord 
sequence, called the Auto Chord 
Progression, will provide you 
with the right chord change data, 
while the melody will play the 
most familiar part of the song.  
It is useful for the player to 
listen to the song first to learn 
it.


HARMONY
When the Auto-accompaniment is 
on, you can use Harmony.  This 
function analyzes the notes being 
currently played and 
automatically adds to them, which 
creates a "harmony" part even 
if you are playing a single note.

The way Harmony reacts to your 
playing is determined by which of 
8 methods is used:


Dynamic	
Adds three or four notes based on 
the notes played in the LEFT 
Part.  Harmony notes are played 
within one octave below the 
lowest note played in the RIGHT 
Part.


Open	
Adds three or four notes based on 
the notes played in the LEFT 
part.  Harmony notes may extend 
over one octave below the lowest 
RIGHT Part note.




Octave	
Takes the highest note played in 
the RIGHT Part and doubles it an 
octave down. 

Duet	
Adds a note according to the 
lowest note played in the RIGHT 
Part and the chord recognized 
with the LEFT part.

Octave Duet	
Adds an Octave note and a Duet 
note.

Rockin'	
Adds a fifth (or fourth) note to 
the lowest note played in the 
RIGHT Part.

Block	
Adds three or four notes based on 
the key recognized with the LEFT 
Part.  

Jazz	
Adds three or four notes based on 
the key recognized with the LEFT 
Part.  

Vocal 1	
Adds a note based on the key 
recognized with the LEFT Part.  


Vocal 2	
Adds three notes based on the key 
recognized with the LEFT Part.

To use the Harmony:

1) Press the HARMONY button.  The 
Indicator will be lit to show 
that it is active.  You will also 
see the Harmony symbol if you are 
in the main play screen.

2) To change the Harmony type, 
hold down the Harmony button for 
a moment until the Harmony Select 
menu is displayed.

3) Choose the preferred type 
using the L and R buttons.

4) Press the EXIT button to leave 
the Harmony Select menu.

5) To turn off the Harmony, press 
the HARMONY button again.	

Harmony can be active only when 
Auto-accompaniment is on.  
Therefore pressing the HARMONY 
button will automatically 
activate the ACC button as well.

Harmony is created with the notes 
played in the RIGHT1 and RIGHT2 
Parts.  The SOLO and LEFT Parts 
are not added to by the Harmony 
function.

The Harmony notes are played with 
the same sound as the RIGHT1 or 
RIGHT2 sound.
