Playing Auto-accompaniment Chords
There are two ways of playing auto-accompaniment chords:
● Easy Chords
● Standard Chords
The instrument will automatically recognize the different chord types.
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.

in the Function Setting List on page 81.)
Multi Fingering: As explained above, the keys to the left of the split point (default: 54, F#2) become the
accompaniment range. This method lets you play the accompaniment chords in the specified area of the
keyboard, and is set as the default for the instrument.
