■ Seven types of Chord Fingerings
● SINGLE FINGER
Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-
seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the Chord section of the keyboard. The
abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used:
C
Cm
● MULTI FINGER
Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of
fingering without having to switch fingering types.
● FINGERED
Lets you finger your own chords on the Chord section of the keyboard, while the Tyros2 supplies
appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected style. The Fin-
gered recognizes the various chord types which are listed on the separate Data List booklet and can
be looked up using the Chord Tutor function above.
● FINGERED ON BASS
Accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord section of the
keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play "on bass" chords (in the Fingered mode the
root of the chord is always used as the bass note).
● FULL KEYBOARD
Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you
split the notes between your left and right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left
hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with
your right.
● AI FINGERED
Basically the same as FINGERED, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to
indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).
● AI FULL KEYBOARD
When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the Tyros2 will automatically create appropriate
accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You
don't have to worry about specifying the style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is
designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature.
This type is similar to FULL KEYBOARD, with the exception that less than three notes can be
played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords
cannot be played. This type is effective only when a style is being played back.
The following list shows the conditions in which the notes played in the left-hand section of the keyboard
can be recognized as a chord.
