Top & Front of MIE-3XG Keyboard (Continued)
The Mode buttons are located to the right of the LEFT/MASTER VOLUME Control slider. These buttons select the
method of operation that allows the keyboard to play in four different modes: Normal, Split, Ensemble, and Ac-
companiment (ACCOMP).
NORMAL
The keyboard is a five-octave keyboard (C1 to C6) playing the same voice in all five octaves.
SPLIT/ENSEMBLE
The keyboard is split into two separate two-octave keyboards. The divider should be in place. Middle
C moves to the solid triangles t above and below the Middle C point found in the Normal mode (C2
for the left side and C5 for the right).
ACCOMPANIMENT (ACCOMP)
When the Accompaniment mode is selected, the keyboard is split at the ACCOMPANIMENT vertical
mark, which can be found above G2. The keys to the right of the vertical line remain in Normal mode
with Middle C at C3. Each key to the left of the vertical line mark plays chords and bass notes in an
arrangement preset by the selected rhythm.
The way in which chords are played or indicated with your left hand (in the accompaniment section
of the keyboard) is referred to as "fingering". There are 2 types of fingerings as described below.
