FULL RANGE CHORD

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, functions as a melody keyboard that can be used for both melody and chords.

❚NOTE

•As with the FINGERED mode (page E-30), you can play the notes that form a chord in any combination (1).

•When the lowest note of a chord is separated from its neigh- boring note by six or more semitones, the lowest note becomes the bass note (2).

Using an Intro Pattern

This keyboard lets you insert a short intro into a rhythm pattern to make startup smoother and more natural.

The following procedure describes how to use the Intro fea- ture. Before starting, you should first select the rhythm you want to use, and set the tempo.

To insert an intro

Press INTRO/ENDING button 1 or 2.

•With the above setup, the intro pattern is played and the auto accompaniment with intro pattern starts as soon as you play chords on the accompaniment key- board.

❚NOTE

•The standard rhythm pattern starts to play after the intro pat- tern is complete.
