Title: One / Two fingered chord NO accompaniment
Post by: shezza on November 13, 2018, 12:47:18 PM
Hi all does a keyboard exist that would allow single or two fingered chords to be played without auto accompaniment.
So I could pick any voice and play chords?

If, as you say, you don't want auto accompaniment, then just turn the ACMP button off.

But, if you actually want accompaniment, but with no sound, then just turn the style volume down to zero.

Cheers,
Fred

I think your question was - does a keyboard exist ....
The answer is that almost any instrument with accompaniment can turn the accompaniment off.
But if you turn the accompaniment off then you generally will get only the notes you play. If you are expecting the keyboard to play a full chord from your two notes, when accompaniment is switched off, then I am not sure what keyboards do that. And what do you mean by 'play a chord'? Do you mean a left hand chord?? And will you be playing melody notes ??
I don't think its that clear what you are trying to do, so maybe you can explain more fully.

Check out the "Smart Chord" function available on Yamaha pianos like DGX-660. It also has "Performance Assistant Technology". Maybe one of those two functions will give you what you want?

Edit: I forgot to mention one more thing: there are "Freeplay" styles available for Yamahas that have no rhythmic component and can be played as slow or as fast as you like.

Perhaps you are looking fro FreePlay styles. The play chords, but no rhythm.
