Specifying Chords in the Normal Mode
When the accompaniment mode is set to NORMAL during step recording, 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.

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.

To input Gm7, hold down G on the root input keyboard and press the m7 key on the chord type input keyboard.
Example 2:
To input Gm/C, hold down C and G on the root input keyboard and press the m key on the chord type input keyboard.
