Auto Accompaniment

FULL RANGE CHORD

See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-4for details on playing chords with other roots.

*1. Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest note is the root.

*2. The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th G.

ŠExcept for the chords specified in note*1 above, inverted fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords as the standard fingering.

ŠExcept for the exception specified in note*2 above, all of the keys that make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key will not play the desired FINGERED chord.

ŠWhen the key light system is turned on, the keys of the accompaniment keyboard light to show the chord you played. Though the chord is the same, the form of the chord (the keys that light) may differ from the one you used (the keys you pressed). If you play C Major using the inverted chord form E-G-C, for example, the keys for C-E- G will light.

E-24

This accompaniment method provides a total of 38 different chord types: the 15 chord types available with FINGERED plus 23 additional types. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any other input (that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern) is interpreted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate accompaniment keyboard, so the entire keyboard, from end to end, can be used for both melody and chords.
