Casio Chord system
The
Casio
Chord
system
has
been
developed
so
you
can
play
the
four
main
types
of
chords
more
easily.
Playing
of
the
chords
is
simplified
as
shown
below:
e
Pressing
one
of
the
accompaniment
keyboard
keys
produces
a
major
chord
corresponding
to
that
note.
¢Simultaneously
pressing
any
key
to
the
right
(two
keys
at
the
same
time)
results
in
a
minor
chord.
Similarly,
pressing
one
more
key
to
the
right
(three
keys
in
all)
produces
a
seventh
chord,
and
pressing
the
,ourth
key
to
the
right
(four
keys
in
all)
creates
a
minor
seventh
chord.
