Performing With the Chord Progression

using it to play the Lower Tone.

You can specify chords
simply with your finger,
even without playing the
keys for all the chords'
constituent notes. For more
information about chord
fingering, refer to the "Chord
Fingering List" (p. 65).
The button's indicator does
not go out when you press
the [Split] button here. At
this point, you can perform
with the Lower Tone while
specifying chords in the left
part of the keyboard.When
you press the [Split] button
once more, the button's
indicator does go out, and
you can perform while
specifying chords over the
entire keyboard.
The point at which the
keyboard is divided is
called the "split point"; you
can also change this split
point. For more
information, take a look at
"Changing the Keyboard's
Split Point" (p. 20).
