To play a minor chord, press the
accompaniment area key that
corresponds to the major chord,
while also pressing one other
accompaniment area key to the
right.
Seventh Chords
To play a seventh chord, press the
accompaniment area key that
corresponds to the major chord,
while also pressing two other
accompaniment area keys to the
right.
Minor Seventh Chords
To play a minor seventh chord,
press the accompaniment area key
that corresponds to the major
chord, while also pressing three
other accompaniment area keys to
the right.
NOTE
• When playing a minor, seventh, or minor seventh chord, it
makes no different whether the additional keys you press
are black or white.

■ FINGERED
In the FINGERED mode, you play standard chord fingerings in
the accompaniment area to play chords. To finger a C chord, for
example, you would press the C-E-G keys.
FINGERED Mode Keyboard
IMPORTANT!
• In the FINGERED mode, the keys in the accompaniment area of
the keyboard operate as “chord switches” only. You cannot use
the keys in this area to play notes.

NOTE
• See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-6 for information
about fingering chords with other roots in the accompaniment
area.
*
1: Inverted fingerings are not supported for these chords. The
lowest note fingered is used as the root. See the NOTE below
for more information about inverted chords.
*
2: For these chords, the same chord is specified even if the G fifth
is not fingered.
NOTE
• Except for the chords whose names have *1 after them in the
above examples, you can also use inverted fingerings for
chords. This means, for example, that you could use the
fingering E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G for C major.
• Except for the chords whose names have *2 after them in the
above examples, you need to press all of the indicated keys
in order to finger a chord. Failure to include even a single
note may produce a chord that is different from the one you
want.
