Chord Fingering
How the chords are played or indicated with your left hand (in the auto
accompaniment section of the keyboard) is referred to as “fingering”.
There are 2 types of fingerings as described below. They are multi-
finger mode and Full Range mode.
Chord Basics
Three or more notes are played together is defined as a “chord”.
The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting three notes: the
root, third and fifth degree of the corresponding scale. A “C major
triad”, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third
note of the C major scale) and G (the fifth note of the C major scale).

Playing the Styles
13
In the C major triad shown, the lowest note is the “root” of the chord
(this is the chord’s “root position”…using other chord notes for the
lowest note results in “inversion”). The root is the central sound of the
chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The
distance (interval) between adjacent notes of triad in root position is
either a major or minor third.
The lowest interval in our root-position trial (between the root and the
third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we
can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two
additional chords, as shown.
The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we
change the order of the notes to create different inversions.
Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected,
for example, by choosing the appropriate inversions.
Reading Chord Names
Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a
chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what
the root of a chord is, whether it is major, minor or diminished, whether
it requires a major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tension does it
use…all at a glance.
The CHORD FINGER mode
The Chord Finger mode lets you finger your own chords on the AUTO
ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard.
1. SINGLE FINGER
Single-finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully
orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and
minor-seventh chord by pressing a minimum number of keys on the
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard.
2. MULTI-FINGER
This is the default accompaniment mode. You can use either type of
single fingering or chord fingering in this mode.
3. The FULL RANGE mode
When the chord detection is in the FULL RANGE mode, the
instrument will automatically create appropriate accompaniment
while you play just about anything using both hands, anywhere on
the keyboard.
You do not have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords.
The name of detected chord will be displayed. In the FULL RANGE
mode, the split point setting for the auto accompaniment will be
ignored.
Press the [CHORD] button twice, the icon “Full Range” will be
lightened in the LCD.

MIDI
By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities.
This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how
you can use MIDI on your instrument.
What's MIDI?
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,
which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each
other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change,
Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.
The instrument can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related
data and various types of controller data. The instrument can be
controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically
determine tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and
effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices
specified for the various parts. MIDI messages can be divided into two
groups: Channel messages and System messages.
MIDI Terminals
In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device
must be connected by a cable.
MIDI IN: Receives MIDI data from a computer.
MIDI OUT: Transmits the instrument information as MIDI data to
another MIDI device.
Note:
Activate the computer from a sleep/suspended/standby mode before
connecting the USB cable.
Connect the USB cable to the instrument and a computer before
turning the power of the instrument on.
System Requirements
CPU: Pentium 2, 300MHz or better
RAM: 64M or more
OS: MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP SP3 or later version
Use the USB cable to connect the instrument and computer.
