A basic 3-chord progression can be constructed with any of these Auto Perform-
ance sequences using the C (BASIC TONIC PATTERN), F (SUBDOMINANT
PAT-
TERN) and G (DOMINANT PATTERN) keys. Once you get the feel of using these
three basic patterns, try adding the other patterns and variations.
Key Shift
The Key Shift sequences are all based on a single pattern that can be transposed
to any key by pressing the appropriate key (between C1 and C2) on the DS55
keyboard. This is ideal for simple '3-chord' type progressions. The KEY SHIFT
patterns are between 1 and 4 measures in length.
Arpeggio
Arpeggio, as the name suggests, produces automatic arpeggios when two or more
notes are played on the lower octave of the DS55 keyboard. The DS55 automati-
cally creates appropriate arpeggios for the notes or chord played on the keyboard.
