TECHNI-CHORDturns your single note melodies into full chords and offers you a choice of different types from a simple duet which adds one harmony note to your melody note, to big band reeds which adds four harmony notes to your melody note. If TECHNI-CHORDis part of a ONE TOUCH PLAY or PIANO STYLIST registration, a suitable TECHNI-CHORDtype will be selected automatically.

Example:

Left hand (chord) C F G C

Right hand (melody)

1.Split the keyboard into left and right sections.

2.Press the TECHNI-CHORDbutton to turn it on.

TECHNI-CHORD

3.Play the keyboard.

•The melody you play with your right hand is automatically played in chords which are based on the chords you play with your left hand.

•This feature does not work for a part for which SOLO is set to on.

•This feature is very effective when used with the AUTO PLAY CHORD.

ORCHESTRATOR

You can specify which part is used for the harmony tones. Your TECHNI-CHORDperformance is enhanced by selecting harmony sounds different from the sounds you play and the sounds produced by the automatic accompaniment.

⇒Use the ∧ and ∨ buttons to select the part for

the harmony notes.

•If CONDUCTOR is selected, the harmony notes are pro- duced in the sounds of the part which is currently selected in the CONDUCTOR (RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2). In other words, the harmony notes are produced in the same sound as the melody notes. If both RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 are on, the harmony notes are produced in the sound of the RIGHT 1 part.

•In the case of EASY RECORD (see page 65), when set to CONDUCTOR or a part other than PART 4, the TECHNI-CHORDsound is not recorded; so when you use EASY RECORD, please set to one or the other.
