45QQTG0701
Playing the rhythm
Minor, seventh and minor seventh chords are also easily produced.
When three or more keys of a chord are pressed, it is recognized as a  chord.

In the , you specify the chord by play-
ing all the notes in the chord.
Play at least three notes to specify the chord.
If the CHORD FINDER procedure is used, you can see the
types of chords that can be specified and the keys you
press to play them. (Refer to page 47.)




 
ADVANCED 1 mode
This mode accepts chords specified with  and disregards all unrecognizable chord
specifications.
It recognizes many more chords than the BASIC mode’s
 chords.




 
ADVANCED 2 mode
This mode accepts chords specified with  and, for unrecognizable chords, it plays
the auto accompaniment according to the keys
pressed.
It recognizes many more chords than the BASIC mode’s
 chords.




 
PIANIST mode
In the PIANIST mode, the entire keyboard can
be used to specify chords 
(ADVANCE) for the automatic accompaniment; a
RIGHT part is assigned to all the keys, and the
keyboard does not split. 
When specifying chords, if you press a key a perfect 5th or
more below the lowest note of the chord, the BASS part
becomes a pattern based on that note.

If this function is assigned to the left pedal, for
example, pressing the left pedal will play the cur-
rently specified chord in that timing, allowing you
to focus your performance on a solo melody.
The accompaniment continues in the same chord as long
as the PEDAL is depressed, and it does not change even if
other chords are played.
To change the PEDAL assignment, refer to page 120.
How to use the AUTO PLAY CHORD
1.Select the desired rhythm and sound(s), and
set the tempo.
2.Press the AUTO PLAY CHORD’s OFF/ON
button to turn it on.
3.Press the AUTO PLAY CHORD’s MODE but-
ton to turn it on.
The display looks similar to the following.
4.Select an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode .
After a few seconds, the display returns to the previous
display.
If the BASIC or ADVANCED mode was selected, the key-
board automatically splits into right and left sections.
5.Press the START/STOP button to begin the
rhythm.
You can start the rhythm by playing a key on the key-
board. (Refer to page 42.)

6.Specify a chord.
If the BASIC or ADVANCED mode was selected, specify
the chord on the keyboard section to the left of the split
point.
An accompaniment pattern in the specified chord is auto-
matically played. Play the melody with your right hand.
When you use FILL IN, INTRO and ENDING, the auto-
matic accompaniment is also used in these patterns.
You can set the mode which determines how the LEFT
part sounds during an AUTO PLAY CHORD perfor-
mance. (See below.)
In the initialized condition, when the rhythm is off, if an
AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is on and a chord is speci-
fied, the specified root note (R. BASS part) and chord
notes (CHORD part) are produced. The volumes of these
notes can be adjusted. (Refer to page 27.)
7.To stop the automatic accompaniment, press
the START/STOP button.
If you wish the automatic accompaniment to begin and
end the performance, set the OFF/ON button to off.




 
MEMORY

of the following:
ON: Even when removing your finger from
the keys, the present chord is retained
until the next chord is specified.
OFF: When removing your finger, the chord
is deleted.
AUTO: The chord is retained when auto
accompaniment is playing but is not
retained when stopped.




 
ON BASS
If the ON BASS button is ON, the BASS part is
produced in the key of the lowest note of the
played chord, thus making it possible to play
chords such as C on G.
For example, with the ON BASS button on, if you play a
C chord by pressing the keys G, C and E, the BASS part
is produced in the key of G.
Left Hold
This setting determines how the LEFT part
sounds when the LEFT button in the CONDUC-
TOR is on during a performance with the BASIC
or ADVANCED mode.
1.Press the MODE button to turn it on.
The display changes to the following.
2.Use the LEFT HOLD: ON/OFF button to set
the mode to on or off.
OFF: 
The LEFT part sounds from the pressed chord
keys.
When BASIC is selected, the LEFT part turns off. The
LEFT part sounds if you turn it on, but 
chords cannot be specified.
ON: 
Specifying  chords in the BASIC
mode produces the full chords; otherwise the
LEFT part notes are those of the pressed
chord keys.
When BASIC is selected the LEFT part turns off, but it
will sound if you turn it on.
Touch response does not function for the LEFT part.
When the mode is set to ON, during a rhythm perfor-
mance, the LEFT part continues to play even when the
keys are released.
APC VOLUME
To adjust the volume balance between the auto-
matic accompaniment and the parts you play
manually on the keyboard, the volume of all the
automatic accompaniment parts can be lowered
as one.
⇒Use the APC/SEQUENCER VOLUME slide
control to adjust the volume. Example of how to play a BASIC   accompaniment

INVERSION fingerings are illustrated in order. (If there is
no INVERSION fingering for the specified chord, this but-
ton is not shown on the display.)
