FULL RANGE CHORD
This accompaniment method makes it possible to play
a total of 38 chord variations: the 15 available with
FINGERED plus 23 additional variations. The
keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys
that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a
chord. Any multi-key input that is not a FULL RANGE
CHORD pattern is interpreted as melody play. Because
of this, there is no need for a separate accompaniment
keyboard, and the entire keyboard from end-to-end
can be used for both melody and chords.
