Auto Play Chord

Simply by playing a chord on the keyboard, the AUTO PLAY CHORD function automatically plays an accompaniment
pattern which matches perfectly the selected rhythm. With a real accompaniment as a background, you can concentrate
on playing the melody.
Choose from three ways of playing chords.
One Finger (1 Finger) mode
In the One Finger mode, a major chord can be played
just by pressing the key for its root note.
Example: C chord
Minor, seventh and minor seventh chords are also easily
produced.
minor chord
Play the root note plus a black key
to the left of it.
Example: Cm
Fingered mode
In the Fingered mode, you specify the chord by playing
all the notes in the chord.
Play at least three notes to specify the chord.
If the CHORD FINDER procedure is used, you can
see the types of chords that can be specified and the
keys you press to play them. (Refer to page 25.)
seventh chord
Play the root note plus a white key
to the left of it.
Example: C7
Pianist mode
In the Pianist mode, the entire keyboard can be used to
specify chords (Fingered mode) for the automatic accom-
paniment; and the keyboard does not split.
If the CHORD FINDER procedure is used, you can
see the types of chords that can be specified and the
keys you press to play them. (Refer to page 25.)
When specifying chords, if you press a key a perfect
5th or more below the lowest note of the chord, the
BASS part becomes a pattern based on that note.
