Auto Bass Chord
Select the Chording (Fingering) mode.
The automatic accompaniments can be used with two (2) different chording styles.
FINGERED: This mode allows the player to use musically correct chords in the left hand.
The player can also use shortcuts, such as adding only the minor note to the base note,
(3 semitones above the base note) or adding only the 7th (2 semitones below the base note)
This mode is easy to use for the beginner or the advanced player.
S. FINGER: This mode is a system that is easy to remember, however it is not musically correct.
To make a minor chord, add a black note to the left of the base note. To make a 7th chord,
add a white note to the left of the base note.

Using single-finger mode to play chords makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated
accompaniment using major, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on
the Auto Accompaniment The following abbreviated chord fingering must be used:

How to use the USB Flash drive
On the rear panel of the piano, you will find 2 USB ports. One is the USB DISK port and the other is the
USB MIDI port. The first one allows you to use your USB Flash drive on the piano. You can export
your recorded MIDI song files and play your favourite MIDI song files from the drive. Also, you can use
your own MIDI song files in the piano teaching system.
Before you use the USB Flash please read the following instructions carefully.
If your USB Flash drive is not formatted, please use your computer to format the drive to FAT or FAT32.
You can confirm the drive format by installing the drive in a USB Port in your computer, right click on
the drive as listed in “my computer”, left click on properties and look at the File System description.
The piano DOES NOT provide the formatting function. Both USB 1.1 and 2.0 drives can be accessed
by the piano.
Before you transfer MIDI song files from the computer to the drive, please check the MIDI format first.
Only MIDI format 0 and 1 will be recognized by the piano. All General Midi song files are one of these
formats. General Midi is a protocol developed to map sounds in the right position on any compatible
instrument for proper playback. Other unsupported formats will be ignored. The file size should not
exceed 88KB, otherwise the piano will show error on the LCD.
Please DO NOT name your files as [FILE##] before you transfer them from the computer to the drive.
See point 6 for details. It is recommended that you label and identify your files by name using your
computer to avoid overwriting any files accidentally.
When you insert the USB Flash drive into the piano, you will hear the 'DI-DA' notice and find the LED of
[SET/FILE] button starting to blink. Normally it takes 1 to 2 minutes to have the drive fully loaded and
the LED will stop blinking.
Press the [SET/FILE] to cycle through the file names of your MIDI files. Then press the [LOAD] to load
it to the system. The LED will blink during the process. After that, you can press [PLAY] OR [DEMO] to
play the MIDI song files. If you load another file to the system, the previous file will be deleted from the
buffer automatically.

You can edit the loaded MIDI by using the recording system, such as deleting and recording new
tracks. You cannot insert new tracks from different sources by cutting and pasting
