One chord can be entered per quarter note. Place the cursor at the
required quarter-note division on the display and enter the chord via
the micro-keyboard in the normal way (see page 48). In the example
display to the left, an A major chord is entered on the first beat of the
first measure, a B minor seventh on the third beat of the first measure,
and a D major on the first beat of the second measure.
You can specify the bass note to be used with any chord by using
the [ OCT DOWN ] key (note the "BASS" marking below the key).
Enter the chord in the normal way, press the [ OCT DOWN/BASS ]
key (a slash will appear below the chord name), then press the key on
the micro-keyboard corresponding to the desired bass note (the bass
OCT
E
DOWN
note will appear to the right of the slash).
You can add bass notes to existing chords without having to re-enter the
entire chord by simply moving the cursor to the chord and using the [OCT
HINT
DOWN/BASS] key to specify the bass note. A bass note can be removed
from a chord by placing the cursor at the chord and either re-entering the
chord or pressing the [OCT DOWN/BASS] key twice.
