Using standard fingerings
The FINGERED mode lets you play a wider variety of chords. In this mode, you
can start play of an accompaniment pattern by pressing three or four of the
accompaniment keyboard keys.
This keyboard is capable of recognizing 15 different chords. The following shows
the fingerings of these chords with a root of C. Note that you can omit the fifth
notes (which are shown inside parentheses in the illustrations below) to produce
7,m7, maj7, add9 and mM7 chords.

Wit
*1 With this chords, the lowest note in your fingering is always used as the root.
Make sure that your fingering correctly identifies the root you want to use.
Important!
¢ If you play one or two notes only in the left hand, or three notes that do not
make up a recognizable chord formation, no sound will be produced. FIN-
GERED mode requires a conventional three or four-note chord formation to
produce an auto-accompaniment. Also, note that auto-chords only work in
conjunction with rhythm patterns, and not independently of them.
Notes
¢ The above examples show only one of the possible fingerings for each chord.
Note that you can play the notes that form a chord in any combination. Each
of the following fingerings for example, produces the same C chord.

° See the "Fingered Chord Charts” on page A-1 for information on the fingerings
of chords for all roots.
