Specifying Chords in the Normal Mode
When the MODE switch is set to NORMAL during step re- cording, you can specify chords using a method that is different from CASIO CHORD and FINGERED fingerings. This chord specification method can be used to input 18 different chord types using only two keyboard keys, so chords can be specified even if you don’t know how to actually play them.
Root input keyboard | Chord type input |
| keyboard |
| 1Major | 0Seventh flat five |
| 2Minor | AMinor seventh flat five |
| 3Augmented | BSeventh suspended four |
| 4Diminished | CDiminished seventh |
| 5Suspended four | DMinor add ninth |
| 6Seventh | EAdd ninth |
| 7Minor seventh | FMinor sixth |
| 8Major seventh | GSixth |
| 9Minor major seventh | HSix ninth |
To specify a chord, hold down the key on the root input keyboard that specifies the root, and press the key in the chord type input keyboard to specify the chord type. When inputting a chord with a specified bass note, pressing two keys of the root input keyboard causes the lower note to be specified as a bass note.
