Using the Pattern Sequencer
Table (Chord Conversion Table)
Recording of each accompaniment pattern is normally performed in C major (root C, major type). When playing an
Auto Accompaniment, you can use a root other than C and a chord type other than major. To do this, the Digital
Keyboard converts the C major recorded data to another root and/or chord type. The Chord Conversion Table is
used during conversion to make corrections based on instrument parts and musical genre in order to ensure natural
musicality, regardless of the root and/or type of the chord that is specified.
With this parameter, you can select from among the 19 types of chord conversion tables listed below.
