How the AUTO PLAY CHORD works

Chord Melody

When an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is selected, an auto- matic 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 31.)

How to play chords

There are four different ways to specify chords on the key- board.

BASIC mode

For beginning players, a left-hand chord can be specified with just one finger. You can either press one key on the left key- board section to specify the root note (one-finger), or play all the notes of the chord (fingered).

•The LEFT button in the CONDUCTOR turns off. You can turn it on and the LEFT part will be heard, but when the LEFT HOLD function is OFF, only the <Fingered> method can be used to specify chords. (Refer to page 49.)

•When the rhythm is on, even if the keys are released, the accompaniment continues to play in the specified chord until you specify another chord.
