Auto Bass Chord ! Mode: Off, Single, Fingered, Custom Off Cancels the Auto Bass Chord function. Single (Single Finger mode) The Single Finger mode provides the fastest and easiest means to obtain many different chord/bass combinations, by simply using one, or at most, two or three fingers to play the chords. Refer to the chart in page 42, "Chords Recognized in the Single Finger Mode," for details on playing chords in this mode. Fingered (Fingered Chord mode) The Fingered Chord mode automatically produces bass and chord accompaniment for chords played in the Lower keyboard. It allows you to use a wider range of chord types than in the Single Finger mode. In the Fingered Chord mode, you play all the notes of the chord while the Auto Bass Chord function automatically selects the appropriate bass pattern and rhythmic accents. Refer to the chart in page 42, "Chords Recognized in the Fingered Chord Mode," for details on playing chords in this mode. 4 Rhythm, Accompaniment and Percussion Custom (Custom A.B.C. mode) The Custom A.B.C. mode is a slight variation on the Fingered Chord mode. It allows you to determine what bass notes will be played in the accompaniment by playing a note on the Pedalboard along with the chords you play in the Lower keyboard. In this way, you have greater control over the actual notes of the accompaniment and the freedom to use a wider variety of chords and voicings, yet are still able to take advantage of the automatic accompaniment capabilities of the Auto Bass Chord feature. Pedalboard does not sound in the Single Finger or Fingered mode. MEMORY " Memory The Memory function allows you to have the bass and chord accompaniment continue even after you release your fingers from the keyboard. Independent Memory settings are available for the Lower keyboard and Pedalboard, making it possible, for example, to have the bass continue with the rhythm while the chord accompaniment "rests." The Memory function can also be used independently from the A.B.C. feature. The bottom right DATA CONTROL button pair is used to control the Memory function. The left button corresponds to the Lower keyboard, and the right When you start playing the rhythm using the SYNCRO button corresponds to the Pedalboard.
