Casio CTK-671 - Manual (Page 30)

This keyboard automatically plays bass and chord parts in
accordance with the chords you finger. The bass and chord
parts are played using sounds and tones that are automati-
cally selected to select the rhythm you are using. All of this
means that you get full, realistic accompaniments for the
melody notes you play with your right hand, creating the
mood of a one-person ensemble.
