HOW TO PLAY CHORDS

There are 3 different ways to specify chords on the Keyboard.

Basic Mode (One Finger)

For beginner players, a left hand chord can be specified with just one finger. You can either press one key on the left keyboard section to specify the root note (one-finger), or play all the notes of the chord.

Note: When the rhythm is on, even if the keys are released, the accompaniment continues to play in the specified chord until you specify another chord.

ONE FINGER

Press a key in the left keyboard section to specify the root note. The major chord corresponding to this root note is automatically played in an accompaniment pattern.
