Casio CTK-900 FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD, Pattern Type

Auto Accompaniment

•It makes no difference whether you press black or white keys to the right of a major chord key when playing minor and seventh chords.

FINGERED

FINGERED provides you with a total of 15 different chord types. The following describes the FINGERED “accompaniment keyboard” and “melody keyboard”, and tells you how to play a C-root chord using FINGERED.

FINGERED Accompaniment Keyboard and Melody

Keyboard

•Except for the chords specified in note*1above, 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.

•Except 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.

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.

•The accompaniment keyboard can be used for playing chords only. No sound will be produced if you try playing single melody notes on the accompaniment keyboard.

See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-11 for 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.
