How to enable bass sound when playing chords with left hand

[jplacebo]

Hi everyone! It's my first time here in this forum. Last week I sold my PSR-SX600, I only had it for 2 years, and bought a new DGX-670, mainly because of my son who's learning to play the piano at a music school. I will have to re-learn how to play the piano, already on my 40s, because I'm just a organ player used to play chords with my left hand.
I have a lot to learn from older posts in this forum to unlock the secrets of the DGX-670. It's not a huge jump from the SX600 and I'm familiar with the menus, etc.

But I have a simple question for now. With the SX600, when I was playing chords with my left hand, I could hear the bass sounds when I turned ACMP on. That is not working with the DGX, I'm playing chords with ACMP turned on and I can't hear any bass sound. I like to play that way most of the time, without any styles playing, just want to hear the bass sound along with my chords to enrich the sound a bit. Any ideas?
Thank you!

jplacebo,

Not sure if the 670 has a choice of Bass on chord feature. Search you manual and select it if it is a choice.

DGX670 There is a FINGERED ON BASS in the Fingering menu.

Hi @jplacebo,

I assume you mean the "Stop ACMP" function. There you can set the behavior when a chord is played with the left hand in the chord recognition area of the keyboard when the ACMP button is switched on but the style is stopped.

This parameter is probably set to "Disabled" or "Off" at the moment. Please go to "MENU > Style Setting > Setting 2 > Stop ACMP" and set "Style" or "Fixed" there. Close the Style Setting display by pressing EXIT to save the changed setting.

If "Style" is set here, the bass and pad sound of the current style will be used; if "Fixed" is set, you will always hear the same bass and pad sound.

Please also see the following screenshot:

For more information, see pages 23 - 25 in the DGX-670 Reference Manual, which you can download from the following link:

By the way, please note that this setting is always automatically memorized in Registrations (if the Style box is ticked) and therefore can be changed again by calling existing Registrations in which a different "Stop ACMP" setting is memorized.


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris

Hi Chris, that was exactly the problem! Thank you so much for the detailed how-to, I'm not sure if I would manage to find that out by myself

Best regards,
