Specifying Chords in the Normal
Mode
When the MODE button is set to Normal during step
recording, you can specify chords using a method that is
different from CASIO Chord and Fingered fingerings. This
chord specification method can be used to input 18 different
chord types using only two keyboard keys, so chords can be
specified even if you don’t know how to actually play them.
