Playing Auto-accompaniment Chords
There are two ways of playing auto-accompaniment chords:
G Easy Chords
G Standard Chords
The instrument will automatically recognize the different chord types. This function is called Multi Fingering.
Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn auto-accompaniment on (page 34). The keyboard to the left of
the split point (default: 54/F#2) becomes the "accompaniment range". Play the accompaniment chords in
this area of the keyboard.
