Playing the rhythm

Playing chords

Choose from three ways of playing chords.

BASIC mode

In the BASIC mode, a major chord can be played just by pressing the key for its root note.

Example: C chord

Minor, seventh and minor seventh chords are also easily produced.

When three or more keys of a chord are pressed, it is recognized as a <fingered> chord.

FINGERED mode

In the FINGERED mode, you specify the chord by playing all the notes in the chord.

Play at least three notes to specify the chord.

If the CHORD FINDER procedure is used, you can see the types of chords that can be specified and the keys you press to play them. (Refer to page 57.)

PIANIST mode

In the PIANIST mode, the entire keyboard can be used to specify chords (FINGERED mode) for the automatic accompaniment; a RIGHT part is assigned to all the keys, and the keyboard does not split.

If the CHORD FINDER procedure is used, you can see the types of chords that can be specified and the keys you press to play them. (Refer to page 57.)

When specifying chords, if you press a key a perfect 5th or more below the lowest note of the chord, the BASS part becomes a pattern based on that note.

<APC HOLD>

If this function is assigned to the Foot Switch (sold separately), then during a performance in the PIANIST mode, for example, pressing the Foot Switch will play the currently specified chord in that timing, allowing you to focus your perform- ance on a solo melody.

The accompaniment continues in the same chord as long as the Foot Switch is depressed, and it does not change even if other chords are played.

To change the Foot Switch assignment, refer to page 179.
