EZ-250i Owner’s Manual

When it is set to on (page 34), the auto accompaniment function automatically 
generates bass and chord accompaniment for you to play along with, by using 
Multi Fingering operation.  You can change the chords of the accompaniment by 
playing keys in the auto accompaniment area of the keyboard using either the 
“Single Finger” or “Fingered” method.  With Single Finger you can simply play a 
one-, two- or three-finger chord indication (see Single Finger Chords below).  The 
Fingered technique is that of conventionally playing all the notes of the chord.  
Whichever method you use, the EZ-250i “understands” what chord you indicate 
and then automatically generates the accompaniment.

Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh 
and minor seventh.  The illustration shows how to produce the four chord types.  
(The key of C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules.  For 
example, Bb7 is played as Bb and A.)
