Here are a few hints for using the Chord type.
If you select Chord/Free or Chord/Melody, the left-hand section of the
keyboard becomes the Chord type section, so use these hints on the left-
hand section of the keyboard.
To begin, try to feel the rhythm of the song. Then, with your hands
spread as shown in the illustration, simply play the keyboard alternately
with your left and right hands (any notes will do).
How does it sound? You’ll get acceptable results no matter where you
play thanks to the performance assistant technology Chord type!
Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways of
playing produce different results.
Once you get a feel for it, try playing chords with your left hand and a
melody with your right ... or any other combination.
The chord information
included in the song is
displayed in the lower
area of the MAIN display.
You will get even better
results if you match your
left-hand rhythm to rhythm
of the chord indicator in
the display.
