Playing accompaniment chords
There are two basic ways of playing chords for the accompaniment: Single Finger and
Fingered.
This instrument uses a sophisticated function called Multi Fingering, which automatically
recognizes the chord played, no matter which way of fingering you use.
• Single Finger.........................................Simple chord indications
• Fingered ................................................Conventionally played chords
The key range left of the Split Point (default setting: 54 or F
#
2) is referred to as the auto
accompaniment section of the keyboard. When using accompaniment, play the chords in
this range.
■
Single Finger
This method lets you easily play major, minor, seventh and minor seventh chords in
the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard by using three fingers or less.
■
Fingered
This method lets you play chords normally within the auto accompaniment section of
the keyboard, and the instrument plays the proper accompaniment.
• The explanations here are applica-
ble only when the [STYLE] button
is turned on.
