With an auto accompaniment, your accompaniment plays only the 3 or 4 tones of your chords. The auto accompaniment can't play anything else. Unless it plays something to you.
nimbu plays all tones. So you just play what you want.
If you want to play a song, you have three options that you can combine:
Either you play with accompaniment rhythms, the so-called styles, which are known from many keyboards.
Or you play with title-related accompaniments.
Or you even play with accompaniments that you have developed yourself.
To play with styles, you proceed this way:
Either you choose in nimbu one of the 100 fantastic rhythms. Here we go.
Or you download a suitable YAMAHA® Keyboard Style from the Internet. Video 4
And also here you adjust the instruments to your setup. And here we go.
You play virtuously with the sections of the style.
But now you see your music and can easily edit it.
You even have the tension tones to further enhance the styles.
To play with title-related accompaniments, proceed as follows:
You load a suitable MIDI file for your song from the Internet. Video 2
From this you let nimbu calculate the harmony and accompaniment and you adjust the instruments a bit. And off you go.
What fun. Everything fits. The rhythm. The bass line. The transition tones. The melodic lines. The fills and breaks.
All you need is a keyboard with MIDI Out and you play this accompaniment just with Sync/Stop.
Or you make a style out of it which really fits.
To develop or edit an accompaniment yourself, you take this path:
You call up the individual instruments and edit them like a text.
Even in real time, while nimbu is playing. With undo/redo, of course.
What fun to experiment with music.
Your possibilities in nimbu are so comprehensive that we have dedicated a separate page to them.

Although you play everything with chords, your accompaniments are not limited to chord tones.
