AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT - THE STYLE MODE Smart The Smart type allows you to set the basic key for the chord accompaniment. Once this is set, you can simply press single keys in the scale and have harmonically appropriate chords played automatically. For example, with the key set to C, playing an D will result in an D minor chord (rather than a harmonically inappropriate D major). The Smart type is not only a convenient feature for easily playing various chord progressions in a specified key, it's also an excellent learning tool to find out how chords relate to each other harmonically in a given key. 1 Select a style. Select one of the styles, as described in steps 1 - 2 on page 47. 2 Select the Smart Chord Guide. Press the CHORD GUIDE button so that "Smart" appears briefly in the display.
