ings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce
the same chords as the standard fingering.

_ that make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press evena.
single key will not play the desired FINGERED chord.

FULL RANGE CHORD
This accompaniment method provides a total of 38 different
chord types: the 15 chord types available with FINGERED plus
23 additional types. The keyboard interprets any input of three
or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to
be a chord. Any other 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, so the entire |
keyboard, from end to end, functions as a melody keyboard that
can be used for both melody and chords. ye
