Chord Fingering Types
Fingering Types Characteristics
Single Finger Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor
and minor-seventh chords by pressing only one, two or three keys on the Chord section
of the keyboard.
Multi Finger Automatically detects both Single Finger and Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use
either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types.
Fingered Lets you specify the chord by pressing the notes making up a chord in the left hand sec-
tion of the keyboard when [ACMP] is turned on or the Left part is turned on. For infor-
mation on which notes to press for each chord, refer to page 24, or use the Chord Tutor
function (page 27.)
Fingered On Bass Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord sec-
tion of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords. (In
the Fingered type, the root of the chord is always used as the bass note.)
Full Keyboard Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered,
even if you split the notes between your left and right hands—for example, playing a
bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with
your left hand and a melody note with your right.
AI Fingered Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be
played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).
AI Full Keyboard This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can
be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th
and 13th chords cannot be played.
Smart Chord Lets you control Styles by playing the root notes with just a finger, as long as you know
the key of the music you’re playing—even if you don’t know any chord fingerings, such
as major, minor, diminished and so on.
