If you want to use fingered chording:

1. Go to UTILITY mode and set up the fingered-chord

zone. (→ p.299)

2. Return to the SONG PLAY screen. Move the cursor to

the fingered-chord switch area, and set the value to

FINGRD (see Section 7 below).

Leave the cursor in this area as you proceed.

3. Press down the keys for the appropriate chord, using

either the QY700 microkeyboard or a remote MIDI key-

board. Be sure that all the keys you press are within

the fingered-chord zone. The QY700 will automatically

detect and register the root and type values.

• To select the on-bass or original bass value: Continue to

hold down the chord notes within the fingered-chord zone,

while pressing one note (for the on-bass setting) or multi-

ple notes (for the original-bass setting) in the keyboard area

to the left of the zone.

1. (→ p.42)

7. Fingered-chord switch

• This setting enables or disables the fingered-chord feature.

• If you enable this feature (by setting the value to FINGRD),

you will be able to enter chord values directly by playing

the appropriate chord either at the microkeyboard or at a

remote MIDI keyboard. Specifically, you can enter the root

and type by playing the keys within the keyboard’s fingered-

chord zone (→ p.299), and you can enter the on-bass or

original-bass value by playing the appropriate key(s) in the

area to the left of the zone. See the procedure given in Sec-

tion 6., directly above.

• For general information about the fingered chord feature,

refer to Chapter 1. (→ p.42)

2. Use the data dial or n/y to select the setting.

• You can use the fingered-chord feature to set up an auto-

accompaniment for live-action keyboard play. First set the

fingered-chord switch to FINGRD, and then select an empty

song. You can then play the chord notes (for the accompa-

niment) in the fingered-zone area (→ p.299), while using

the area to the right of the zone for normal play. The QY700

will produce your performance in the keyboard track’s cur-

rent voice. (But note that the area to the left of the zone is

not available.)
