2 Single Finger
You can produce major, minor, 7th, and minor 7th chords by simply using one, or at
most, two or three fingers to play the chords. The Single Finger mode provides the
fastest and easiest means to obtain many different chord/bass combinations. The chord
produced will sound in the same octave regardless of where it is played on the Lower
keyboard.

Major chords:
Press the root of the chord (the note that corresponds to the
chord's name).

Minor chords:
Simultaneously press the root and any one black key to the
left of it.

7th chords:
Simultaneously press the root and any one white key to the
left of it.

Minor 7th chords:
Simultaneously press the root as well as any black key and any
white key to the left of it.
Playing single finger chords without the use of the rhythm lets you add full continuous
chords to your performance.
3 Fingered Chord
The Fingered Chord mode automatically produces bass accompaniment for chords
played in the Lower keyboard. It allows you to use a wider range of chord types than in
the Single Finger mode. In the Fingered Chord mode, you play full chords while the
Auto Bass Chord function automatically selects the appropriate bass pattern. If you play
only one or two notes in the Lower keyboard, the appropriate chord will sound on the
basis of the previously played chord.

4 Custom A.B.C.
The Custom A.B.C. mode is a slight variation on the Fingered Chord mode.
It allows you to determine what bass notes will be played in the accompaniment by
playing notes on the Pedalboard along with the chords you play in the Lower keyboard.

When the A.B.C. function
mode is set to Single Finger

part will not sound even if
you play the pedals of the
Pedalboard.
NOTE
When playing certain chords
(aug, dim7, sus4, 6, and
m6), make sure that the
lowest note you play is the
root of the chord.
