Using the Leading Bass
Function
When Automatic Accompaniment is used, and the Pedal [To
Lower] button is ON, the Pedal Bass voice will normally play
the root note (p. 212) of the chord you play on the Lower
keyboard. If the Leading Bass function is enabled, the lowest
note of the chord you play on the Lower keyboard will then
be used as the bass note (the bottom note of the chord).
For this reason, the bass note will be sounded differently
than normal when you play an inverted chord (p. 212).
