Playing a chord at the touch of a finger (Multi-chord Memory)

Chord Memory is a function that lets you play a chord simply by touching just one key to which a “Chord Form” has been registered. On the RS-50 you can register different chord forms to each key and save these chord forms as sets (multi-chord memory) and recall them when desired. If you save typical chord progressions as user chord sets, these are a convenient way to get immediate results, such as when inputting music into the external sequencer.
