Using the Leading Bass Function (Leading Bass)

When Automatic Accompaniment is used, and the Pedal [To Lower] button is ON, the Pedal Bass voice will normally play the root note (p. 109) of the chord you play on the Lower keyboard. If the Leading Bass function is enabled, the lowest note of the chord you play on the Lower keyboard will then be used as the bass note (the bottom note of the chord).

For this reason, the bass note will be sounded differently than normal when you play an inverted chord (p. 109).

2.Press the Menu [ ] and [ ] buttons to select “Leading Bass.”

3.Press the Value [-] and [+] buttons to switch the Leading Bass “ON” or “OFF.”
