Automatic Accompaniment

The “Chord Intelligence” feature allows you to have chords be recognized even though you’ve pressed only one or two keys when

using automatic accompaniment.

To play a “C” chord, for example, you normally have to play the three keys C, E, and G. But with Chord Intelligence, you only have to

press the C key to start a “C” chord accompaniment.

Press the [Menu] button so its indicator is lit.

Playing Chords with Simple Fingering (Chord Intelligence)

About Chords

A chord is produced when several notes are played simultaneously. Chords are indicated by the pitch of the fundamental note

of the chord (the root) and the chord type, which is determined by the other notes of the chord.

For example, the C m chord is expressed in terms of the root note “C” and the chord type “m” (minor). C m is made up of the

three notes “C,” “E ” and “G.” “C m” is indicated as the chord name on the Basic screen.

All chord roots are indicated as a letter, sometimes with

added, and correspond to the notes shown below.
