NOTE
• The accompaniment keyboard can be used for playing
chords only. No sound will be produced if you try playing
single melody notes on the accompaniment keyboard.
• The split point (page E-46) is the point that separates
the Auto Accompaniment area and the melody area of
the keyboard. You can change the location of the split
point, which also changes the sizes of the keyboard
areas.
NOTE
• It makes no difference whether you press black or white
keys to the right of a major chord key when playing minor
and seventh chords.
