• MANUAL BASS: You can activate the manual bass function in two different modes:
Bass Only (removes the basstrack from the automatic accompaniment allowing
manual execution) or Bass + Chord (also removes the chords leaving only the drums
playing, thus allowing you to perform a manual bass solo with only rhythmic support
of the drums). These two possibilities can only be used whenthe MANUAL BASS in
the Style section is active.

Chord recognition in ACCORDION STYLE mode.
In ACCORDION STYLE mode, the recognition of chords on the accordion button depends on
the status of the BASS TO CHORD function.
• BASS TO CHORD = OFF
In OFF position the basic chords of the accordion (major, minor, seventh and
diminished) are recognized. If the bass is also pressed along with the chord, this will
determine the fundamental note of the bass. Playing the C major chord with the E
bass, the arrangement will perform the C major chord while the fundamental bass will
be E.
• BASS TO CHORD = ON
In the ON position, the note played on the bass is added to the chord and the name
of the tonality remains that of the chord played. Example: Playing on the accordion
the chord of C major with the bass in A, we will get C 6.
The system allows to obtain chords that, with the traditional accordion, are impossible,
such as C minor 7, C 7+ (see tables below).
• BASS TO CHORD = ON + LOWEST
This mode is like BASS TO CHORD = ON with the difference that the bass will perform
as fundamental not the tonic of the recognized chord, but the pressed bass note.
Playing on the accordion the chord of C major + bass B, we will get C 7+ but the
fundamental bass will be the B.
