[. . . ] Scalic Phrases can also contain chords but they will be analyzed differently than chords in a Chordal Phrase. The Bass section is automatically set to Scalic since it will rarely if ever play chords. The terms Open and Close apply to Chordal Phrases, and refer to how the CP will regulate the voicing of a Chordal Phrase. Setting a Section to Open will allow for open-voiced chords, which might be good for guitar and string sounds. Setting a Section to Close maintains closed voiced chords, which are better suited to piano parts and other chording or comping instruments. Range This determines the chord inversions that a Chordal Phrase will play. The term "range" here has nothing to do with the span of actual chord notes. It selects which note in the chord will serve as the basis of the chord inversion. MID plays an inversion based on the next lower note in relation to HI, while LO plays an inversion based two-notes lower. Crossover This determines the point where a Scalic Phrase will be transposed to keep the notes in a musically useful range. When notes in a Scalic Phrase fall below the Crossover point you select they will be transposed up one octave by the Accompaniment System. For example if you set the Crossover point to E, the Phrase would begin to be transposed up one octave whenever you play a chord with an E as the root. 100 Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano Experiment with the different Chordal and Scalic settings to find the one that works best with each Phrase.
