HINT — Using Fingering
You can play the full chords yourself (in the Fingered Zone at lower part of the keyboard)
by turning Fingering to on. Or turn Fingering off and enter the chords by “typing” them in
— as described in the steps below. (For more about the Fingering function and Fingered
Zone, see page 193.)

use 6 and m6 chords for that root (keys: D2 and F

HINT
Chord changes normally occur on quarter-note divisions, so try to press the
E button
to enter each chord either exactly on the beat or just before the beat on which you want the
chord change to occur. Syncopated chord changes can be recorded by entering the chord
an eighth or sixteenth note before the beat. (Syncopated changes can also be pro-
grammed in the Step Record mode; see page 124.)
