CHORD
MELODY
ProChord is a unique feature which allows you to
play professional right-hand harmony while play-
ing a single-note melody. The harmonization ap-
plied to the melody is determined by the chord
played by the left hand.
When notes or chords are played on a Lower
keyboard and a note is played on an Upper key-
board, the note represented by the key played on
the Upper keyboard is heard along with a scored
harmony pattern which sounds according to the
Chord Root and Chord Type selected by the notes
played on the Lower keyboard. The Chord Root is
the letter name of the chord (F, A, B=, etc) while
the Chord Type is the denomination of the chord
(Major, Minor, etc.)
