Single
You can produce major, minor, 7th, and minor 7th chords by simply using one, or at
most, two or three fingers to play the chords. The Single Finger mode provides the
fastest and easiest means to obtain many different chord/bass combinations. The chord
produced will sound in the same octave regardless of where it is played on the Lower
keyboard.
Key of C
Major chords:
C
Press the root of the chord (the note that corresponds to the chord's
name).
Minor chords:
Cm
Simultaneously press the root and any one black key to the left of it.
7th chords:
C7
Simultaneously press the root and any one white key to the left of it.
Minor 7th chords:
Cm7
Simultaneously press the root as well as any black key and any white
key to the left of it.
Playing single finger chords without the use of the rhythm lets you add full continuous
chords to your performance.

Fingered Chord
The Fingered Chord mode automatically produces bass accompaniment for chords
played in the Lower keyboard. It allows you to use a wider range of chord types than in
the Single Finger mode. In the Fingered Chord mode, you play full chords while the
Auto Bass Chord function automatically selects the appropriate bass pattern. If you
play only one or two notes in the Lower keyboard, the appropriate chord will sound on
the basis of the previously played chord.

Custom A.B.C.
The Custom A.B.C. mode is a slight variation on the Fingered Chord mode.
It allows you to determine what bass notes will be played in the accompaniment by
playing notes on the Pedalboard along with the chords you play in the Lower keyboard.
