Path:
In the Fingered Zone page, you can turn the ABC (Auto
Bass Chord) automatic accompaniment system on or off,
and set the range (or "zone") over which ABC chords will
be recognized.
Fingered Chord Switch
Settings: off, on
This determines whether the ABC automatic accompani-
ment feature is off or on.
When the Fingered Chord Switch and the Fng parameter in
the Song or Pattern mode display are set to on, chords
played within the specified ABC range (set below) will be
recognized by the ABC system and the accompaniment
chord will change accordingly during song playback or
chord-track recording (see note below). For a list of the
recognized chords, see the separate "Sound Lists and MIDI
Data" supplement.

Range parameters:
• High Key
• Low Key
Range Parameters
• Low Key
Range: C-2 — G8
• High Key
Range: C-2 — G8
These two parameters determine the range over which ABC
chords are recognized. These can be set with the panel
controls, or directly from the keyboard itself. Keep in mind
that the Low Key setting cannot be higher than the High
Key. The specified range is indicated in reverse display
(i.e., white keys appear as black) on the keyboard graphic
in the display. Also keep in mind that any keys played in
this range will not sound normally, but will be used to
determine the accompaniment chords when a Pattern is
playing.
NOTE: ABC chord changes will be ignored during step or
realtime recording of any track other than the chord track, and
in the Edit or Job modes.
