About the accompaniment keyboard
The lower (left) 1.5 octaves are reserved for use as an
accompaniment keyboard whenever you select CASIO
CHORD or FINGERED with the POWER/MODE switch. The
panel above the accompaniment keyboard keys is marked
with the names of the notes they play. The remainder of the
keyboard (the part that is not included in the accompaniment
keyboard) is called the melody keyboard. Please be sure to
remember these terms, because they will be used throughout
the rest of this manual.

NOTE
• The bottom (leftmost) note that you play determines the
name of the chord. If the bottom note is a C for example,
the keyboard produces a C chord.
• When pressing more than one accompaniment key, it
makes no difference whether the keys to the right of the
bottom note are white or black.
