Playing chords

Choose from the 4 ways of playing chords.

■BASIC mode

This mode lets beginners specify chords with just one finger. With this mode, chords can be speci- fied either with one finger <one finger> or by pressing all of the chord's sound components <fingered>.

When an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is selected, an automatic accompaniment which matches the rhythm you have chosen is played in the chord which you specify with your left hand. The melody is played with your right hand.

•The accompaniment pattern of the AUTO PLAY CHORD is composed of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS, ACCOMP 1–5.

•The volume of each part can be adjusted with the buttons below the display. (Refer to page 27.)

<one finger>
