PLAYING LEFT HAND BASS.

This same BASS screen can also be accessed by pressing and holding down the
MANUAL bass button on the left side of the panel
•
Touch CHORD to access the following screen –
The first column on the left provides access to the chord settings. You may select either NORMAL or RETRIGGER
modes.
•
In Normal mode a chord plays during the basic measure as programmed.
•
In Retrigger mode the chord is heard every time it is played – i.e. the individual chord notes are
played regardless of where you are as you play the style.
The second column gives you access to the chord types, namely – CLOSED or PARALLEL. These chord settings
and modes only affect the Arranger/Accompaniment controlled chords (Chord1, Chord2, Chord3, Chord4, and
Chord5).
•
In Close mode the chords adapt the intervals to the next notes following the rules of conventional
harmony.
•
In Parallel mode the notes of the chords programmed are transposed in parallel without changing the
intervals.
•
At the centre of the display you will find the MODE function that may be set
to EASY or FINGER modes.
•
On Easy 1 and Easy 2 modes the instrument plays in standard mode recognizing the chord. Some
tones may also be obtained by not playing the full chord. For example, you may play a major
chord by playing only the tonic part. With the tonic plus the minor third you play a minor chord,
with the tonic plus the seventh you play a seventh chord.
