* Chords marked with an asterisk (*) can be played in
any inversion (i.e. the root of the chord does not have
to be the lowest note played).
* If you play any three adjacent keys (including black
keys), the chord sound will be cancelled and only the
rhythm instruments will continue playing (CHORD
CANCEL function).
SINGLE FINGER
Single-finger accompaniment makes it simple to
produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment
using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords
by pressing a minimum number of keys on the left-
hand section of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord
fingerings described below are used:
For a major chord, press the root key only.
For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root
key and a black key to its left.
For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the
root key and a white key to its left.
For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press
the root key and both a white and black key to its
left.
