CASIO CHORD
With CASIO CHORD, you can use simplified fingerings to
play the four types of chords described below.
•
When playing a minor, seventh, or minor seventh chord, it
makes no different whether the additional keys you press
are black or white.
■
FULL RANGE CHORD
With this mode, you can use the full range of the keyboard to
play chords and the melody.
See page A-7 for information about chords that are supported.
Use the following procedures to play intro and ending
patterns, to play fill-in patterns, and to play variations of basic
Auto Accompaniment patterns.

CHORD mode will play the major chord whose name is

that corresponds to the major chord, while also pressing one
other accompaniment area key to the right.

that corresponds to the major chord, while also pressing two
other accompaniment area keys to the right.
Example: C7 (C Seventh)
Minor Seventh Chords
To play a minor seventh chord, press the accompaniment
area key that corresponds to the major chord, while also
