CHORD DICTIONARY
The chord dictionary function can be used to
improve and test your chord knowledge.
DICT 1 (CHORD LEARNING MODE)
Hold down the [SHIFT] button, and then press
the [DICT.] button to enter the DICT 1 mode. The
displays will show “Dict.1” and the auto bass chord
mode (A.B.C) is automatically turned on. In DICT 1
mode, the keys C4-B5 are used to assign the chord
type, and keys C6-B6 are used to assign the chord
root.
When the chord type and chord root are confirmed,
the display will show the chord and its keyboard
position. For example, if you want to play a CM7
chord, press key C6 to specify C as the chord root.
The root note will be shown on the display but the
note doesn’t sound.
Press the E4 key to specify M7 as the chord type.
The display will show the chord and its keyboard
position. A prompt sound will be heard when you
play it correctly in the chord area.
DICT 2 (CHORD TESTING MODE)
Hold down the [SHIFT] button, and then press the
[DICT.] button twice to enter the DICT 2 mode. The
display will first show “Dict 2” and then will display
a chord name in random order for you to play. If the
chord fails to be played in 3 seconds, the correct
notes will appear on the display. Once the chord
is played correctly, a new chord name will appear
after a few seconds.
Chords will be displayed in the dictionary mode as
follows:
