Melody On Chord (M.O.C)
The Melody On Chord (M.O.C.) feature automatically adds a
harmony part to the melodies you play on the Upper keyboard.
The harmony is derived from the chords you play on the Lower
keyboard-or from the chords that are played for you, if you use
Automatic Accompaniment.
Melody On Chord has three different modes, each providing a
different set of harmonies to accompany the melody played. The
modes are selected from the A.B.C./M.O.C. page.
To select the M.O.C. function:
Press the A.B.C./M.O.C. button in the DISPLAY SELECT section.
