Chordal
The harmony notes are determined by the chords you play in the chord section (with [ACMP ON/OFF] turned
on), the left hand section (with [ACMP ON/OFF] turned o and the Left part turned on) or the chord data of a
Song.
Vocoder
The microphone sound is output via the notes you play on the keyboard or the Song playback notes.

Basically the same as Vocoder; however, in this mode, only single-note melodies or lines can be played back
