Basic Rules
Song #126 example:
• 1Note: Play the root note of the chord
• 2Notes: Play the root + the 3rd interval
• 3Notes: Play the root + the 3rd + the 5th interval
• ALL: Play all the notes that make up the chord.
Because notes played outside of the keyboard’s default chord detection range are not detected, chord inversions are
used. You can make a chord inversion by changing the order in which the notes of a chord are stacked.
Press the [PHRASE REPEAT] button and, if nothing has been previously set, “C 1Note” is shown in the LCD. Press
the [PLAY] button and each note in the “1Note” score above plays twice, after which the entire exercise repeats.
With the song stopped, press the [+,-] button to select “1Note, 2Notes, 3Notes, ALL” to set how you want to play the
chords.
Let’s start with the “1Note” setting and use only the root notes. Once you get accustomed to playing the root, it’s a
good idea to increase the number of notes you need to play by choosing “2Notes, 3Notes…”
* You can set the key for each song. If the setting is not changed, the default key is C for major songs and A minor
for minor songs.
* The chord progression score is only available with the “ALL” setting.
Knowing how to play chords makes playing the instrument that much more enjoyable.
Chord playing skills can also help you widen your musical repertoire with commercial sheet music or scores found
in the keyboard’s “Favorite with Style” categories. Use the Style (Auto Accompaniment) function to play chords with
your left hand and the melody with your right hand.
