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.
