Auto Accompaniment

NOTE

•Except for the chords specified in note*1above, inverted fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-

G)will produce the same chords as the standard fingering.

•Except for the exception specified in note*2 above, all of the keys that make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key will not play the desired FINGERED chord.

FULL RANGE CHORD

This accompaniment method provides a total of 38 different chord types: the 15 chord types available with FINGERED plus 23 additional types. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any other input (that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern) is interpreted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate accompaniment keyboard, so the entire keyboard, from end to end, functions as a melody keyboard that can be used for both melody and chords.

NOTE

•As with the FINGERED mode (page E-41), 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).
