Chapter 8 Various Settings

Changing How Chords Are Played and Specified

(Arranger Config)

This changes the settings determining how Music Styles are

played, and how the keys are pressed to specify chords.

What are the Chord Tone and Bass Tone?

When the Automatic Accompaniment is stopped, and Sync Start (p. 58) is turned off, chords are produced when you play in the left-hand side of the keyboard. This is called the “chord tone,” and the root of the chord that is played at the same time is called the “bass tone.”

At Step 3 “Procedure” (p. 145), touch <Arranger Config>.
