Melody Intelligence
The Melody Intelligence function adds a second voice (harmony notes) to the melodies you play with your right hand. In fact, MELODY INTELL uses both halves of the keyboard to determine which notes to play:
•It looks at the melody notes in the right half; and…
•It analyzes the chords you play in the left half to see which notes it must add to your melody.
Press the [MELODY INTELL] button so that the corresponding icon (see right illustration) appears in the display.

Bass Inversion (Bass Inv)
Use this function to change the way in which the Arranger reads the chords you play.
If the hand icon is not displayed, the A.Bass part plays the root of the chords that feed the Arran- ger. If you play a C (or C chord), the bass sounds a C; if you play an A minor chord (or if you press A and the C to its right), the bass sounds an A, etc.
By activating Bass Inversion, you can specify the note played by the A. Bass part (the lowest note of your chords). Switch on Bass Inversion for songs that rely on bass rather than on chord patterns (for example C – C/B – C/Bb, etc.).
(1) Press and hold the [FUNCTION] button.
(2)Keep holding the [FUNCTION] button while pressing BANK/NUMBER [4] to select “Inversion”.
(3)Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to select “On”.
