You can add bass notes to existing chords without having to re-enter the en-

tire chord by simply moving the cursor to the chord and using the [OCT DOWN/ON BASS] key to specify the bass note.

Specifying the Bass. Note For a Chord

You can specify the bass note to be used with any chord by using the left [OCT DOWN] key (note the “ON BASS” marking below the key). Enter the chord in the normal way, then while holding the [OCT DOWN/ON BASS] key press the key on the micro-keyboard corresponding to the desired bass note (the bass note will appear below the chord root). In the example display, below, the Dm7 chord will be played on a “C” bass note (in this case the 7th degree of the chord).

Specifying the Bass Phrase Chord Type (Harmonization)

While the “ON BASS” function described above allows you to specify the actual root of the bass phrase to be used with a chord, the “ORG BASS” function also lets you specify a chord type on which the bass pattern will be based. To do this use the left [OCT UP] key (note the “ORG BASS” marking below the key). Enter the chord in the normal way, then while holding the [OCT UP/ORG BASS] key press the key on the micro-keyboard corresponding to the desired root note and then the key corresponding to the desired chord type (the root note and chord type will appear below the chord root). In the example display, below, the Dm7 chord will be played with a bass phrase based on a CM7 chord.
