Need help on Auto-Accompaniment variations - 10/13/04 04:19 PM
I want to get an arranger-style keyboard and I will be relying very much, on the auto-chord accompaniment feature for left hand.
The only feature of this type that I have used is the "Casio Chord" function on Casio WK model keyboards. In that mode, you press 1 note and you then hear the major chord of that note. Adding -ANY- 1 note higher than that root note changes the chord to a minor. Add -ANY- 3rd note higher than the root and the 3 pressed notes changes the chord to a 7th. I tried some Yamaha PSR's and soon found that there is a difference.
I was wondering how this auto-chord accompaniment feature varies accross the many brands other than Casio. I have not made up my mind as to the brand KB I choose, but what I learn about this feature may help me decide.
I will be working on developing my right hand for keyboard playing, but that will take some time so in the meantime, I need this feaure to provide my accompaniment.
Thanking you in advance for your help and response.
