Playing Rhythms

NOTE

• See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-4 for

details on playing chords with other roots.

*

1: Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest

note is the root.

*

2: The same chord can be played without pressing

the 5th G.

NOTE

• Except for the chords specified in note*

1

above,

inverted fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E
instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords as
the standard fingering.

• Except for the exception specified in note*

2

above,

all of the keys that make up a chord must be
pressed. Failure to press even a single key will not
play the desired FINGERED chord.

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.

IMPORTANT!

• The accompaniment keyboard can be used for playing

chords only. No sound will be produced if you try playing
single melody notes on the accompaniment keyboard.

• The split point (page E-9) is the point that separates the

Auto Accompaniment area and the melody area of the
keyboard. You can change the location of the split point,
which also changes the sizes of the keyboard areas.
