Playing chords
Choose from the 4 ways of playing chords.
䡲䡲䡲䡲
BASIC mode
This mode lets beginners specify chords with just
one finger. With this mode, chords can be speci-
fied either with one finger <one finger> or by
pressing all of the chord's sound components
<fingered>.
<one finger>
In the <one-finger>, a major chord can be played
just by pressing the key for its root note.
Example: C chord
Minor, seventh and minor seventh chords are also easily produced.
• When three or more keys of a chord are pressed, it is recognized as a <fingered> chord.
<fingered>
In the <fingered>, you specify the chord by play-
ing all the notes in the chord.
• Play at least three notes to specify the chord.
䡲䡲䡲䡲
ADVANCED 1 mode
This mode accepts chords specified with <fin-
gered> and disregards all unrecognizable chord
specifications.
• It recognizes many more chords than the
BASIC mode’s <fingered> chords.
䡲䡲䡲䡲
ADVANCED 2 mode
This mode accepts chords specified with <fin-
gered> and, for unrecognizable chords, it plays
the auto accompaniment according to the keys
pressed.
• It recognizes many more chords than the
BASIC mode’s <fingered> chords.
䡲䡲䡲䡲
PIANIST mode
In the PIANIST mode, the entire keyboard can
be used to specify chords <fingered>
(ADVANCE) for the automatic accompaniment; a
RIGHT
part is assigned to all the keys, and the
keyboard does not split.
• When specifying chords, if you press a key a
perfect 5th or more below the lowest note of
the chord, the
BASS
part becomes a pattern
based on that note.
<APC HOLD>
If this function is assigned to the Foot Switch
(sold separately), for example, pressing the Foot
Switch will play the currently specified chord in
that timing, allowing you to focus your perform-
ance on a solo melody.
• The accompaniment continues in the same
chord as long as the Foot Switch is
depressed, and it does not change even if
other chords are played.
• To change the Foot Switch assignment, refer
to page 172.
