The number of accompaniment keys
you press determines the type of chord
that plays. This table shows the type of
chord that plays when you press one,
two, three, or four accompaniment keys
at the same time.
The lowest note you play determines the
key of the chord. For example, if the low-
est note is C, the keyboard plays a C
chord.
Note: You can play any labeled note(s)
to the right of the lowest note in the
chord to produce a minor, a dominant
seventh, or minor seventh chord.
