books for further details.

Changing the Chord Fingering Type
By changing the chord fingering type, you can automatically produce appropriate accompaniment even if you don't
press all of the notes which comprise a chord. Chord fingering type can be changed from: [FUNCTION]  [C]
STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING  TAB [E][F] CHORD FINGERING.
Following types can be selected, for example.
• Single Finger
This method lets you easily play chords in the accompaniment range of the keyboard using only one, two or three
fingers.
Major chord
Press the root key only.
• AI Full Keyboard
Playing just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands – like playing the piano – produces
appropriate accompaniment. You don't have to worry about specifying the chords. (Depending on the song
arrangement, AI Full Keyboard may not always produce appropriate accompaniment.)
For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
