Setting the Fingering Type

When playing back a Style, the method for playing
chords in the Auto Accompaniment area is called a
Fingering Type. This instrument has two Fingering
Types.

Multi-Finger (default)
Play the entire notes of a chord to play back the
Auto Accompaniment. However, you can also eas-
ily play major, minor, seventh, and minor seventh
chords by simply pressing one to three keys.

Smart Chord
Play only the root note of a chord to play back
Auto Accompaniment. However, in order to use
Smart Chord for Auto Accompaniment, you need
to set the key for the song you are performing
(Smart Chord Key).

For details about how to play chords for each Fingering Type,
