Changing The Chord Fingering Type - Yamaha PSR-SX600 Owner's Manual

Changing the Chord Fingering Type

By changing the Chord Fingering type, you can automatically produce appropriate accompaniment even if you
don't press all of the notes which comprise a chord.
1
Call up the operation display.
[MENU] → TAB [E] Menu1 → Cursor buttons [][][E][F] Split Point/Chord Fingering → [ENTER] →
TAB [F] Chord Fingering
2
Press the [2 ] – [4 ] buttons to select a Chord Fingering
type.
The following types can be selected, for example.
• Single Finger
This method lets you easily play chords in the accompaniment range of the keyboard using only one, two or three
fingers.
Major chord
Press the root key only.
• Fingered
This lets you specify the chord by pressing the notes making up a chord in the left hand section of the keyboard
when [ACMP] is turned on or the LEFT part is turned on. For information on which notes to press for each chord,
use the Chord Tutor function (see below) or refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
• Multi Finger
This automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering
without having to switch fingering types. By default, the Chord Fingering type is set to Multi Finger.
• AI Full Keyboard
This lets you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands — like conventional playing of
a piano — and still have appropriate accompaniment. You don't have to worry about specifying the chords.
(Depending on the song arrangement, AI Full Keyboard may not always produce appropriate accompaniment.)
For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
Using the Chord Tutor Function
With this function shown in the display, you can see which notes to press for specifying the chord. If you know a chord
name but don't know how to play it, use this function. For instructions, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
