Specifying the Bass Note For a Chord
If you enter only the
chord root the major
chord type will auto-
matically be selected. If you en-
ter only the chord type the root
will be set to “C” automatically.
You can specify the bass note to be used with any chord by using the left
[OCT DOWN]
key (note the “ON BASS” marking below the key). Enter the
chord in the normal way, then while holding the
[OCT DOWN/ON BASS]
key press the key on the micro-keyboard corresponding to the desired bass
note (the bass note will appear to the right of the chord). In the example
display, below, the Dm7 chord will be played on a “C” bass note (in this case
the 7th degree of the chord).
Specifying the Bass Phrase Chord Type (Harmonization)
While the “ON BASS” function described above allows you to specify the
actual root of the bass phrase to be used with a chord, the “ORG BASS”
function also lets you specify a chord type on which the bass pattern will be
based. To do this use the left
[OCT UP]
key (note the “ORG BASS” marking
below the key). Enter the chord in the normal way, then while holding the
[OCT UP/ORG BASS]
key press the key on the micro-keyboard correspond-
ing to the desired root note and then the key corresponding to the desired chord
type (the root note and chord type will appear below the chord root). In the
example display, below, the Dm7 chord will be played with a bass phrase
based on a CM7 chord.
