Fingered 1, 2, 3

With these three chord fingering modes, you play chords on the chord keyboard using their normal chord fingerings. Some chord forms are abbreviated, and can be fingered with one or two keys.

For information about the types of chords you can finger and their fingerings, see the “Fingering Guide” (page A-8).

Fingered 1: Play the component notes of the chord on the keyboard.

Fingered 2: Unlike Fingered 1, 6th input is not possible with this mode.

Fingered 3: Unlike Fingered 1, this mode allows input of fraction chords with the lowest keyboard note as the bass note.

With “CASIO Chord”, you can use simplified fingerings to play the four types of chords described below.
