If the chord is correct, you can see its fingering on the
graphic keyboard. Try playing the chord on the key-
board.
• The fingering that appears on the display is one standard
fingering. You can also use other fingerings to match the size
of your hands or to make it easier to progress from or to
neighboring chords.
• You can also use the [+] and [–] buttons to change the dis-
played chord name.
• The tone used to sound chords you play on the accompani-
ment keyboard while using the Chord Book is the same tone
used by the accompaniment part of the rhythm that was se-
lected before you entered the Chord Book mode. Depending
on the rhythm that was selected, some of the notes that make
up a chord may be omitted when you play the chord on the
accompaniment keyboard in the Chord Book Mode. This is
due to the internal chord conversion function, arrangements,
and polyphony limitations. Because of this, you should al-
ways play the chords indicated on the display on the melo-
dy keyboard (the range that does not have chord names print-
ed above the keys).

the corresponding chord sounds.
