Selecting a Chord Fingering Type
Style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the chord
section of the keyboard. There are two types of fingering.
Holding down [A.B.C] button will call up the Chord Setting display.
Press the Fingering type name to select your desired Chord Fingering
type.
Press "Full Range" to turn it on (orange font display). Detect chords in
the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Multi
Finger, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands.

Automatically detects Single Finger or Multi Finger
chord types.

Chord Basics
Three or more notes played together is defined as a chord . The most
basic chord type is the triad consisting three notes: the root, third and
"
fifth degree of the corresponding scale. A C major triad , for example,
is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major
scale) and G (the fifth note of the C major scale).
In the C major triad shown, the lowest note is the root of the chord
(this is the chord's root position using other chord notes for the lowest
"
note results in "inversion"). The root is the central sound of the chord,
which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance
(interval) between adjacent notes of triad in root position is either a
major or minor third.
The lowest interval in our root-position trial (between the root and the
third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we
can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two
additional chords, as shown.
The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we
change the order of the notes to create different inversions. Successive
chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for
example, by choosing the appropriate inversions.
Reading Chord Names
Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a
chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what
the root of a chord is, whether it is major, minor or diminished, whether
it requires a major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tension does it
use...all at a glance.
