Yamaha PSR-225 Manual Do Utilizador

The Smart type allows you to set the basic key for the chord accompani-
ment.  Once this is set, you can simply press single keys in the scale and
have harmonically appropriate chords played automatically.  For example,
with the key set to C, playing an D will result in an D minor chord (rather
than a harmonically inappropriate D major).

The Smart type is not only a convenient feature for easily playing various
chord progressions in a specified key, it’s also an excellent learning tool to
find out how chords relate to each other harmonically in a given key.

Select one of the styles, as described in steps 1 - 2 on page 47.

Press the CHORD GUIDE button so that “Smart” appears briefly in
the display.

Use the +/- buttons on the numeric keypad to step through the
available keys, or use the numeric keypad to directly enter the num-
ber corresponding to the desired key (see chart below).
