ACC Mode

The ACC Mode setting is used to select the Rhythm Section's chord input method.
By default, the entire keyboard can be used to play the melody, with the ES8 detecting and changing the Rhythm
Section chord/key automatically. However, selecting the '1 Finger Chord' mode allows the Rhythm Section chord/
key to be changed by playing single notes in the lower section, with the upper section reserved for playing the
melody.
Finally, when the 'Preset Chord' mode is selected, the Rhythm Section will follow the preset chord sequence
specified on the Preset Chord settings page. For a complete listing of the available Rhythm Section Preset Chord
sequences, please refer to page 145 of this owner's manual.
* The default split point is set between keys F # 3 and G3.
* The Rhythm Section and Split Mode share the same split point. Please refer to page 21 for information about changing the split point.
