DictionaryThe Dictionary feature is essentially a built-in “chord book” that shows you the individual
notes of chords. It is ideal when you know the name of a certain chord and want to quickly
learn how to play it.
1Press the [Dict.] button.
2Specify the root of the chord.
Press the key on the keyboard that corresponds to the desired chord root (as
printed on the panel).
3Specify the type of the chord (major, minor, seventh, etc.).
Press the key on the keyboard that corresponds to the desired chord type (as
printed on the panel).
The display shows the name of the chord, and the individual notes — both in
notation and on the keyboard diagram.
4Play the chord.
Play the chord (as indicated in the display) in the ACMP section of the key-
board. The chord name flashes in the display (and a “congratualtions” mel-
ody is played) when the correct notes are held down. (Inversions for many of
the chords are also recognized.)
To leave the Dictionary function, press the [Dict.] button again.
