CASIO CHORD
This method of chord play makes it possible for anyone to
easily play chords, regardless of previous musical knowledge
and experience. The following describes the CASIO CHORD
"accompaniment keyboard" and "melody keyboard", and
tells you how to play CASIO CHORDs.
CASIO CHORD accompaniment keyboard and
melody keyboard
On the keyboard shown above, Lower1 and Lower2 are
assigned to the accompaniment keyboard range and
Upper1 and Upper2 are assigned to the melody keyboard
range.
When split is turned off (page E-20), the accompaniment
keyboard range keys do not sound any melody notes. In
this case, they are used to specify chords for the
accompaniment pattern.
You can expand the range of the accompaniment keyboard
by moving the keyboard's split point to the right (page
E-20).

Chord Types
