How to Play Chords
The way you finger chords depends on the current
Auto Accompaniment mode. If you want to play
without Auto Accompaniment, use the NORMAL
mode.
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
keyboard range of the keyboard. The following shows
where the accompaniment keyboard range is located,
and explains how to finger chords in the CASIO
CHORD mode.
CASIO CHORD Mode Keyboard
IMPORTANT!
• In the CASIO CHORD mode, the keys in the
accompaniment keyboard range of the keyboard operate
as “chord switches” only. You cannot use the keys in this
keyboard range to play notes.
• You can use the split point to change the size of the
accompaniment keyboard range. See “To specify the
keyboard split point” on page E-11 for more information.
NOTE
• When playing a minor, seventh, or minor seventh chord,
it makes no different whether the additional keys you
press are black or white.
