Using the Chord Memory Function (Chord Memory)

This causes the notes within a chord to be sounded consecutively, rather
than simultaneously. Since the playback speed will change according to
the force with which you play the keyboard, you can vary your playing
dynamics to create a realistic simulation of playing a guitar.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press [CHORD MEMORY].

The chord memory screen appears.

2.

Press [F1 (Rolled Chord)] so it lights red.

With this setting, the notes of the chord will be sounded
consecutively when you play the keyboard.

Forms

Saving the Chord Forms You

Have Created

A chord form is not part of any patch or performance, but rather
independent data. Therefore you can use a single chord form in
different Patches and Performances. In Performance mode you
can save these settings individually for each performance. These
settings cannot be saved in a patch.

If you want to save your settings, press [WRITE] and save the
performance.
