Selecting an Accompaniment Mode

There are two different Accompaniment modes: Single Finger and Fingered. (See below.)
To play a major chord:
Press the root key.
The root key is the note
that corresponds to the
chord's name.
To play a seventh chord:
Press the root key and
a white key to its left
simultaneously.
To select an Accompaniment Style:
1.
If the STYLE indicator is not lit, press the VOICE/STYLE
(/SOUND EFFECT) button once or twice so that it lights.
The number of the selected style will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY
when the STYLE indicator is lit.
2.
Choose one of the Accompaniment Styles from the STYLE list
on the panel.
3.
Enter its number using the NUMERIC or + and - SELECTION
buttons.
To select style number 05, for example, first press 0 and then 5. The number
"05" should then be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY.
A different Accompaniment Style can be selected at any time while the
Accompaniment is playing. The style number display will change as soon as
the selection is made, but the new style will begin playback from the next
measure. The tempo will not change when the new style begins playing.
Style number 01 is automatically selected as the default style when the Porta-
Tone is turned on.
To select an Accompaniment mode:
Select Single Finger or Fingered mode by pressing the MODE
button as many times as necessary.
The indicator of the selected mode will light.

beautifully orchestrated accompaniment, by simply using one, or at most,
two or three fingers to play the chords.
The default Split Point in Single Finger Mode is D2.

Press the root key and
a black key to its left
