When three or more keys of a chord are pressed, it is recognized as a <fingered> chord.

<fingered>

In the <fingered>, you specify the chord by play- ing all the notes in the chord.

Play at least three notes to specify the chord.

If the CHORD FINDER procedure is used, you can see the types of chords that can be specified and the keys you press to play them. (Refer to page 47.)

ADVANCED 1 mode

This mode accepts chords specified with <fin- gered> and disregards all unrecognizable chord specifications.

It recognizes many more chords than the BASIC mode’s <fingered> chords.

ADVANCED 2 mode

This mode accepts chords specified with <fin- gered> and, for unrecognizable chords, it plays the auto accompaniment according to the keys pressed.

It recognizes many more chords than the BASIC mode’s <fingered> chords.

PIANIST mode

In the PIANIST mode, the entire keyboard can be used to specify chords <fingered> (ADVANCE) for the automatic accompaniment; a RIGHT part is assigned to all the keys, and the keyboard does not split.

When specifying chords, if you press a key a perfect 5th or more below the lowest note of the chord, the BASS part becomes a pattern based on that note.

<APC HOLD>

If this function is assigned to the left pedal, for example, pressing the left pedal will play the cur- rently specified chord in that timing, allowing you to focus your performance on a solo melody.

The accompaniment continues in the same chord as long as the PEDAL is depressed, and it does not change even if other chords are played.

To change the PEDAL assignment, refer to page 120.
