PLAYING SINGLE FINGER CHORDS WITHOUT RHYTHM:
Auto Bass Chord is generally used with rhythm patterns to create full
rhythmic accompaniment, but it can also be used in the Single Finger mode
to add full continuous chords to your performance without the use of the
rhythm. Simply leave the rhythm off in Single Finger mode, and play Single
Finger chords from the Lower keyboard.
