Yes, the Smart Chord feature on the Yamaha PSR-E283 can be turned off. You can set the fingering type manually by adjusting the Smart Chord settings. To disable Smart Chord and play regular chords, follow these steps:

1. Access the "Fingering Type" setting in the keyboard's menu.
2. Change the setting from "Smart Chord" to a manual chord mode (such as Multi-Finger or Full Keyboard).
3. Confirm the selection and exit the menu.

This allows you to play chords normally without the Smart Chord function automatically adjusting them.
