Cancels the Auto Bass Chord function.
1-2 Single Finger
Provides the fastest and easiest means to obtain many different
chord/bass combinations, by simply using one, or at most, two or
three fingers to play the chords.
1-3 Fingered Chord
Automatically produces bass and chord accompaniment for chords
played in the Lower keyboard. It allows you to use a wider range of
chord types than in the Single Finger mode. In the Fingered Chord
mode, you play all the notes of the chord while the Auto Bass Chord
function automatically selects the appropriate bass pattern.
1-4 Custom A.B.C.
A slight variation on the Fingered Chord mode. It allows you to
determine what bass notes will be played in the accompaniment by
playing a note on the Pedalboard along with the chords you play in
the Lower keyboard.
