„ FINGERED
In the FINGERED mode, you play standard chord
fingerings in the accompaniment keyboard range 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
keyboard range of the keyboard operate as “chord
switches” only. You cannot use the keys in this keyboard
range to play notes.
• You can use the split point to change the size of the
accompaniment keyboard range. See “To specify the
keyboard split point” on page E-11 for more information.
NOTE
• See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-4 for
information about fingering chords with other roots in
the accompaniment keyboard range.
*1 Inverted fingerings (see “Fingered Chord Notes” on
page E-17) are not supported for these chords. The
lowest note fingered is used as the root.
*2 For these chords, the same chord is specified even if
the G fifth is not fingered
Fingered Chord Notes
• Except for the chords whose names have *1 after
them in the above examples, you also can use
inverted fingerings. This means that fingering either
E-G-C or G-C-E will produces a C chord.
• 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.
„ FULL RANGE CHORD
The FULL RANGE CHORD mode lets you play a total
of 38 different types of chords (the same chords
available in the FINGERED mode plus 23 more). FULL
RANGE CHORD recognizes the pressing of three or
more keyboard keys anywhere on the keyboard as a
chord fingering. Anything else (pressing one or two
keys, or playing any group of notes that does not form
a chord fingering that is recognized by the keyboard) is
treated as melody notes.

z Recognized Chords
Example: C Major or chord
NOTE
• When there are at least six semitones between the lowest
note and the next note to the right, the lowest note is
assumed to be the bass note.
