Using Auto Accompaniment
E-26
While Auto Accompaniment is playing, you use the chord
keyboard to specify the chord root and type. The area of the
keyboard to the left of the split point (page E-17) is the chord
keyboard.
You can select from among the following five chord fingering
modes.
1: Fingered 1
2: Fingered 2
3: Fingered 3
4: CASIO Chord
5: Full Range
1.
Hold down the L-17 (ACCOMP ON/OFF) button
until the chord fingering mode selection screen
shown below appears on the display.
2.
Use the dial or R-14 (–, +) buttons to select a
chord fingering mode.
3.
Press the L-17 (ACCOMP ON/OFF) button or the
R-15 (EXIT) button.
• This exits the chord fingering mode selection screen.
■ Fingered 1, 2, 3
With these three chord fingering modes, you play chords on
the chord keyboard using their normal chord fingerings. Some
chord forms are abbreviated, and can be fingered with one or
two keys. For information about the types of chords you can
finger and their fingerings, see the “Fingering Guide” (page
E-123).
■ CASIO Chord
With “CASIO Chord”, you can use simplified fingerings to play
the four types of chords described below.
When pressing more than one chord keyboard key, it makes
no difference whether the additional keys are white or black.
■ Full Range Chord
With this chord fingering mode, you can use the full range of
the keyboard to play chords and the melody. For information
about the types of chords you can finger and their fingerings,
see the “Fingering Guide” (page E-123).
