NOTE
Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh,
minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing only one, two or three keys on the
Chord section of the keyboard.
C
For a major chord,
press the root key only.
Cm
For a minor chord,
simultaneously press
the root key and a black
key to its left.
Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can
use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types.
Lets you specify the chord by pressing the notes making up a chord in the left
hand section of the keyboard when [ACMP] is turned on or the Left part is
turned on. For information on which notes to press for each chord, refer to
page 26, or use the Chord Tutor function on the right-half of this display.
Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the
Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play
"on bass" chords. (In the Fingered type, the root of the chord is always used as
the bass note.)
Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to
Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands—for
example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or
by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right.
Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes
can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord,
etc.).
This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three
notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played
chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played.
C

For a seventh chord,
simultaneously press the
root key and a white key to
its left.
Cm
7
For a minor-seventh chord,
simultaneously press the root
key and both a white and black
key to its left.
