Rhythm/Keyboard Percussion

You can produce major, minor, 7th, and minor 7th chords by simply using one, or at 
most, two or three fingers to play the chords. The Single Finger mode provides the 
fastest and easiest means to obtain many different chord/bass combinations. The chord 
produced will sound in the same octave regardless of where it is played on the Lower 
keyboard.

Press the root of the chord (the note that corresponds to the chord’s 
name).

Simultaneously press the root and any one black key to the left of it.

Simultaneously press the root and any one white key to the left of it.

Simultaneously press the root as well as any black key and any white 
key to the left of it.

Playing single finger chords without the use of the rhythm lets you add full continuous 
chords to your performance.

The Fingered Chord mode automatically produces bass accompaniment for chords 
played in the Lower keyboard. It allows you to use a wider range of chord types than in 
the Single Finger mode. In the Fingered Chord mode, you play full chords while the 
Auto Bass Chord function automatically selects the appropriate bass pattern. If you 
play only one or two notes in the Lower keyboard, the appropriate chord will sound on 
the basis of the previously played chord.

Playing fingered chords without the use of the rhythm lets you add full continuous 
chords to your performance.

The Custom A.B.C. mode is a slight variation on the Fingered Chord mode.
It allows you to determine what bass notes will be played in the accompaniment by 
playing notes on the Pedalboard along with the chords you play in the Lower keyboard.

When the A.B.C. function 
mode is set to Single or 
Fingered Chord, the bass 
part will not sound even if 
you play the pedals of the 
Pedalboard.

When playing certain 
chords (aug, dim7, sus4, 6, 
and m6), make sure that the 
lowest not you play is the 
root of the chord.
