Casio Chord system
The Casio Chord system has been developed so you can play
the four main types of chords more easily. Playing of the chords
is simplified as shown below:
¢ Pressing one of the accompaniment keyboard keys produces
a major chord corresponding to that note.
¢ Simultaneously pressing any key to the right (two keys at the
same time) results in a minor chord.
* Similarly, pressing one more key to the right (three keys in
all) produces a seventh chord, and pressing the fourth key
to the right (four keys in all) creates a minor seventh chord.
< Examples >
C (C major chord)—Press @. COE IF IG)AJBIC Oe
Cm (C minor chord)—Press @, @ together.
C7 (C seventh chord)—Press @ @, ©
together. 0000
Cm7 (C minor seventh chord)—Press @, @, saa fo soee a

together.
* Not only @ ©, and @, but any black or white keys can be used as
long as they are to the right of @.
