Changing how you specify the chords
There are several different ways to use the keyboard to specify chords, as appropriate
for your preferences and abilities.
1
Press the [ACC] switch
The [ACC] switch indicator will light, and the “Accompaniment” page will appear.
2
Select the method of specifying chords
Use the radio buttons in the display to select how you will use the keyboard to spec-
ify chords.
“One Finger”
This method makes it easy to input chords even if you do not know how the chord
is fingered. In the keyboard range to the left of the Split Point, simply press the root
of the chord to specify the corresponding major chord. Pressing the root together
with the white key to the left of it will specify a seventh chord. Pressing the root
together with the black key to the left of it will specify a minor chord. Pressing both
will specify a minor seventh chord.
“Fingered1”
This method is easy to understand if you know how the chord is fingered. You can
press a note in the keyboard range to the left of the Split Point to input chords using
the conventional fingering. However if only the root is pressed, a major chord will
be input. To input an inverted chord, press the [BASS INVERSION] switch.
“Fingered2”
This is the same as “Fingered 1,” but a chord will not be input unless you press
three or more notes.
“FullKeyboard”
This is the same as “Fingered 2,” but chords can be specified from the entire key-
board, regardless of the split point.
Changing the split point
Except when the “FullKeyboard” chord input method is selected, the keyboard area
consisting of the displayed “Split Point” and the keys to the left of it will be used to
input chords. “C4” is the middle C key of the keyboard.
In the “Accompaniment” page, select the “Split Point” cell, and use the dial or the
[VALUE] switches to change the setting. Alternatively, you can hold down the
[SPLIT] switch and press a note on the keyboard to set the split point.
Muting the keys used to specify chords
If you press the [MIXER] switch and then press the “KeyL” check box to turn it on,
these keys will be muted. If you turn on the [SINGLE TOUCH] switch and change
the rhythm style, the sound and mute settings of the rhythm style itself will be
recalled. If muting is set for the selected rhythm style, it will be muted automati-
cally. (
