Playing a chord at the touch of a finger
(Multi-chord Memory)
Chord Memory is a function that lets you play a chord simply by touching just one
key to which a "Chord Form" has been registered. On the RS-50 you can register
different chord forms to each key and save these chord forms as sets (multi-chord
memory) and recall them when desired. If you save typical chord progressions as
user chord sets, these are a convenient way to get immediate results, such as when
inputting music into the external sequencer.
