Looking up Chords Using the Chord Dictionary

The Dictionary function is essentially a built-in "chord dictionary" that
shows you the individual notes of chords. It is ideal when you know the
name of a certain chord and want to quickly learn how to play it.
1
Press and hold the [WAITING] button for longer than a second.
"Dict." will appear in the display.
2
As an example, we'll learn how to play a GM7 (G major seventh)
chord. Press the "G" key in the section of the keyboard labeled
>
"ROOT ." (The note doesn't sound.) The root note you set is shown
in the display.
3
Press the "M7" (major seventh) key in the section of the keyboard
labeled "CHORD TYPE ." (The note doesn't sound.)
The notes you should play for the specified chord (root note and chord
type) are shown in the display, both as notation and in the keyboard
diagram.
To call up possible inversions of the chord, press the [+]/[-] buttons.
4
Try playing a chord in the auto accompaniment section of the key-
board, checking the indications in the display.
When you've played the chord properly, a bell sound signals your suc-
cess and the chord name in the display flashes.
