■FINGERED

In the FINGERED mode, you play standard chord fingerings in the accompaniment area to play chords. To finger a C chord, for example, you would press the C-E-G keys.

IMPORTANT!

•In the FINGERED mode, the keys in the accompaniment area of the keyboard operate as “chord switches” only. You cannot use the keys in this area to play notes.

NOTE

• See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-6 for information about fingering chords with other roots in the accompaniment area.

*1: Inverted fingerings are not supported for these chords. The lowest note fingered is used as the root. See the NOTE below for more information about inverted chords.

*2: For these chords, the same chord is specified even if the G fifth is not fingered.

NOTE

• Except for the chords whose names have *1 after them in the above examples, you can also use inverted fingerings for chords. This means, for example, that you could use the fingering E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G for C major.

• Except for the chords whose names have *2 after them in the above examples, you need to press all of the indicated keys in order to finger a chord. Failure to include even a single note may produce a chord that is different from the one you want.
