Selecting How to Play a Chord
(Fingering Type)
The playing method of a chord played in the Auto
Accompaniment range during Style playback is called
the fingering type and is set in the "Function Settings"
(page 32, Function number 009). There are two available
fingering types (below).
•
Smart Chord (SmartChd) (Default setting)
This is a playing method that plays only the root note of the
• chord to produce automatic accompaniment.
Multi-Finger (Multi)
This is a playing method in which the notes that make up
the chord are played conventionally to produce automatic
accompaniment. However, major, minor, seventh, and minor
seventh can also be easily played by pressing just one, two, or
three keys on the keyboard.
For details on chords, see "Chord Types for Style Playback"
(page 26).
