Chord Types
CASIO CHORD accompaniment lets you play four types of chords
with minimal fingering.
❚
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.
■
FINGERED
FINGERED provides you with a total of 15 different chord types. The
following describes the FINGERED “Accompaniment keyboard” and
“Melody keyboard”, and tells you how to play a C-root chord using
FINGERED.

Major chords
Major chord names are marked above
the keys of the accompaniment key-
board. Note that the chord produced
when you press an accompaniment
keyboard does not change octave, re-
gardless of which key you use to play
it.
Minor chords (m)
To play a minor chord, keep the ma-
jor chord key depressed and press any
other accompaniment keyboard key
located to the right of the major chord
key.
Seventh chords (7)
To play a seventh chord, keep the
major chord key depressed and press
any other two accompaniment key-
board keys located to the right of the
major chord key.
Minor seventh chords (m7)
To play a minor seventh chord, keep
the major chord key depressed and
press any other three accompaniment
keyboard keys located to the right of
the major chord key.

IMPORTANT!
The accompaniment keyboard can be used for playing chords only. No
sound will be produced if you try playing single melody notes on the ac-
companiment keyboard.

See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-6 for details on playing
chords with other roots.
*1: Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest note is the root.
*2: The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th G.

NOTES
❚
• Except for the chords specified in note
*1
above, inverted fingerings (i.e.
playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords
as the standard fingering.
• Except for the exception specified in note
*2
above, all of the keys that
make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key
will not play the desired FINGERED chord.
■
FULL RANGE CHORD
This accompaniment method makes it possible to play a total of 38
chord variations: the 15 available with FINGERED plus 23 addition-
al variations. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys
that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any
multi-key input that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern is inter-
preted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate
accompaniment keyboard, and the entire keyboard from end-to-end
can be used for both melody and chords.
