Producing Chords with Simple Fingering

(Chord Intelligence)

"Chord Intelligence" is a feature that intelligently plays the correct
accompaniment chords the moment you play a key specifying a chord
on the Lower keyboard during Automatic Accompaniment.
To play a C chord on the Lower keyboard, for example, you usually
have to press down the three keys C, E, and G; but with Chord
Intelligence, you only have to press the C Key to initiate a C chord
accompaniment.
Value Explanation
ON Chord Intelligence function is ON.
OFF Chord Intelligence function is OFF.
MEMO
• When the [One Touch Program] button is pressed, the Chord
Intelligence function is automatically switched ON.
• When the Leading Bass function (p. 95) is on and the Chord
Intelligence function is off, you can specify chords with a
combination of the lower keyboard and pedalboard.
Using the Leading Bass Function
(Leading Bass)
When Automatic Accompaniment is used, and the Pedal [To Lower]
button is ON, the Pedal Bass voice will normally play the root note (p. 122)
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.
122).
Value Explanation
ON The Leading Bass function is ON.
OFF The Leading Bass function is OFF.
MEMO
• You can assign the Leading Bass functions to either of the foot
switches located on each side of the Expression Pedal (p. 94).
• When the Leading Bass function (p. 95) is on and the Chord
Intelligence function is off, you can specify chords with a
combination of the lower keyboard and pedalboard.

Automatically (Auto Std Tempo)

you switch rhythms.
Value Explanation

OFF are not changed automatically when the
rhythms are changed.
