NOTE
If the "Arr Type" parameter (page 63) is set to "On", this
"Type" setting has no effect.
Standard: This is the normal chord recognition
mode.
Pianist: In this mode, the BK-7m only recognizes
chords that consist of at least three notes. Playing
only two notes will not cause the Music Style's key to
change.
Guitarist: Select this setting if you are using a MIDI
guitar to control the BK-7m's Arranger.
Intelligent: Select "Intelligent" when you want the
chord recognition to supply the missing notes of the
chords you play.
Accordionist1: Select this setting if you are using an
FR-x-series or MIDI-compatible accordion to control
the BK-7m's Arranger.
Accordionist2: Select this setting if you are using a
MIDI-compatible accordion that transmits its chord
information within a single octave and "dim" chords
without the root note.
Easy: This is another "intelligent" chord fingering sys-
tem. It works as follows:
Major chords
Press the key that corresponds to the
chord's fundamental.
Minor chords
Fundamental + any black key to the
left of the fundamental.
60
Seventh chords
Fundamental + any white key to the
left of the fundamental.
Minor seventh
Fundamental + any black key to the
chords
left + any white key to the left.

released. This parameter is switched "On" by default.
