@) Program Chord Computer
The Program Chord Computer, complete with a memory
bank, is an amazing device that is exclusive to most Technics
organ models. That's right — a computer built into the
Technics organ! This makes it possible for you to program
the chord accompaniment of an entire song and store it right
inside the organ. The main advantage of this is that, while
you’re learning to play a song, the computer can play the
accompaniment, complete with rhythm, while you con-
centrate on practicing the melody.
This feature is also used in conjunction with the Fullband
Setting Computer, which is discussed on later pages.
There are two groups of controls that operate the Program
Chord Computer — the buttons illustrated below, and the
nine keys on the right of the lower keyboard.
NOTE: A total of a 100 chord entries may be made before the
uilt-in. Computer memory is full. A quarter measure
(y+) is counted as 2 chords. When the Computer
memory is full, short beeps will sound.
PCC button prepares the computer for the storage of the
chords of your choice (after Record is pressed).
The eight keys are used for the actual process of storing
chords in the computer. Here is what they do:
‘<== stores a chord for an entire measure (one chord per
measure).
—=+— stores a chord for a half measure (two chords per
measure).
HHH (pressing two keys at a time) stores a chord fora
quarter measure (four chords per measure).
mend keys ( m -—« ) are used to correct individual
chords in a sequence, or to change chords already in the
memory bank,

can be pressed should you wish to start programming
over from the beginning.
a | (End) is pressed when the entire chord sequence is
stored.
G— (pressing two keys at one time) completes storage so
that performances can be automatically repeated.
+1 fe allows you to input a pause at any time during the
recording. This pause is reproduced when the recording is
played back.
The use of the @ and D.S. key allows you to store chords
according to the music, making storage operation easy. This
is explained later in detail.

Use the following example to learn operations of the Program
Chord Computer; the variety of chords presented will help
you do this.
Some of these chord types are not available as one-finger
mode; no matter, however, since your computer easily mixes
One-Finger and Fingered modes.
