NORMAL (Auto Accompaniment off) FULL RANGE CHORD FINGERED CASIO CHORD • In the NORMAL mode (no indicator lamp lit), only rhythm accompaniment plays. • The FULL RANGE CHORD, FINGERED, and CASIO CHORD modes all play Auto Accompaniment patterns. See page E-11 for details about each of these different modes. How to Play Chords The way you finger chords depends on the current chord mode. ■ NORMAL In this mode, Auto Accompaniment is turned off, so you can play chords as you would normally do on a piano keyboard. ■ CASIO CHORD Even if you do not know how to play chords normally, this mode lets you play four different types of chords using simplified fingerings in the accompaniment area of the keyboard. The following shows where the accompaniment area is located, and explains how to finger chords in the CASIO CHORD mode. To play with Auto Accompaniment CASIO CHORD Mode Keyboard Getting Ready • Use the procedures under “Playing a Rhythm” to select the rhythm you want to use and adjust the tempo. 1 Use the MODE button to select CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD as the accompaniment mode. • Here we will select the CASIO CHORD mode. • See page E-11 for information about selecting the accompaniment mode. 2 3 Accompaniment Area IMPORTANT! • In the CASIO CHORD mode, the keys in the accompaniment area of the keyboard operate as “chord switches” only. You cannot use the keys in this area to play notes. Press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button. • This configures the digital piano so rhythm and chord accompaniment will start automatically when you press any keys within the accompaniment keyboard range.

NOTE • See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-6 for information about fingering chords with other roots in the accompaniment area. *1: Inverted fingerings are not supported for these chords. The lowest note fingered is used as the root. See the NOTE below for more information about inverted chords. *2: For these chords, the same chord is specified even if the G fifth is not fingered. NOTE • Except for the chords whose names have *1 after them in the above examples, you can also use inverted fingerings for chords.
