■ CASIO CHORD
With CASIO CHORD, you can use simplified fingerings to
play the four types of chords described below.
• When playing a minor, seventh, or minor seventh chord on
the accompaniment keyboard, it makes no difference
whether the additional keys you press are black or white.
■ FINGERED
With this chord fingering mode, you play chords on the
accompaniment keyboard using their normal chord fingerings.
Note that some chords can also be formed using abbreviated
fingerings of one or two keys. For information about the types
of chords you can finger and their fingerings, see the
“Fingering Guide” (page EN-35).
● FINGERED 1
Play the component notes of the chord on the keyboard.
● FINGERED 2
Unlike FINGERED 1, 6th input is not possible with this mode.
● FINGERED ON BASS
Play the component notes of the chord on the keyboard. This
mode allows input of fraction chords with the lowest keyboard
note as the base note.
● FINGERED ASSIST
In addition to FINGERED 1 input, you can also use the
fingerings below to play the three chord types.
■ FULL RANGE CHORD
With this chord fingering mode, you can use the full range of
the keyboard to play chords and the melody.
