The following procedure describes how to use the Fill-in feature.

To insert a fill-in

•As with the FINGERED mode (page E-31), you can play the notes that form a chord in any combination (1).

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

The following procedure describes how to use the Intro feature. Before starting, you should first select the rhythm you want to use, set the tempo, and use the MODE button to select the chord play method you want to use (NORMAL, CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD).
