NOTE
As with the FINGERED mode (page E-30), you can play the
notes that form a chord in any combination (1).
When the lowest note of a chord is separated from its neigh-
boring note by six or more semitones, the lowest note becomes
the bass note (2).

FULL RANGE CHORD
This accompaniment method provides a total of 38 different
chord types: the 15 chord types available with FINGERED
plus 23 additional types. The keyboard interprets any input
of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD
pattern to be a chord. Any other input (that is not a FULL
RANGE CHORD pattern) is interpreted as melody play. Be-
cause of this, there is no need for a separate accompaniment
keyboard, so the entire keyboard, from end to end, functions
as a melody keyboard that can be used for both melody and
chords.

Using an Intro Pattern
This keyboard lets you insert a short intro into a rhythm pat-
tern to make startup smoother and more natural.
The following procedure describes how to use the Intro fea-
ture. Before starting, you should first select the rhythm you
want to use, and set the tempo.
To insert an intro
Press INTRO/ENDING button 1 or 2.
With the above setup, the intro pattern is played and
the auto accompaniment with intro pattern starts as
soon as you play chords on the accompaniment key-
board.
NOTE
The standard rhythm pattern starts to play after the intro pat-
tern is complete.
