4. Auto Accompaniment

The DD-14 is capable of accompanying you with 100
automatic rhythm styles covering an extremely wide range of
musical genres. These styles are listed in the STYLE LIST ®
which is divided between the right and left sides of the
control panel. You can select and play back any of the styles,
then play along with them using the manual percussion
techniques described in the preceding chapter.
Try pressing the START/STOP
begin playing style 00 (DANCE 1), complete with a bass line
and chord pattern. This style is automatically selected as the
current accompaniment style each time you turn on the
POWER switch Once you start the Auto Accompaniment,
it will keep playing until you stop it. You can do so by
pressing the START/STOP button a second time.

4.1 The Auto Bass Chord Function

Each time you turn the DD-14's POWER switch ® on, the
indicator above AUTO BASS CHORD button @ will light.
This means that the Auto Bass Chord function has been
activated.
If you've tried playing the Auto Accompaniment, you've
probably got a pretty good idea of what the Auto Bass Chord
function does. Basically, it adds a bass line and a chord
pattern to the rhythm section, giving you a complete rhythm
section to play along with. The added instruments play a
preset chord progression that more or less matches the
selected accompaniment style.
Of course, you don't have to use this chord progression if
you don't want to. The Chord Memory function described in
Chapter 5 lets you create your own songs, complete with
chord progressions. Or if you'd prefer to perform with no
sounds other than percussion,
CHORD button @ to turn the Auto Bass Chord function off.
