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.
Split Point (default setting: 54 or F#2)
The Split Point can be changed.
(See page 42.)
NOTE
The illustration below shows the
root names of the chords and their
corresponding keys.
