‘This
accompaniment
method
makes
it
possible
to
play
a
to-
tal
of
43
chord
variations:
the
15
available
with
FINGERED
plus
28
additional
variations.
While
an
accompaniment
pat-
tem
is
playing,
the
piano
interprets
any
input
of
three
or
more
keys
that
matches
a
FULL
RANGE
CHORD
pattern
to
be
a
chord.
Any
multi-key
input
that
is
not
a
FULL
RANGE
CHORD
pattern
is
interpreted
as
melody
play.
Because
of
this,
there
is
no
need
for
a
separate
accompaniment
keyboard,
and
the
entire
keyboard
from
end-to-end
can
be
used
for
both
melody
and
chords.
