˙ Fingered In the Fingered mode, you can play complete three- or four-note chords yourself in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard and the PortaTone will produce full accompaniment in the selected Style. Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized in the Fingered mode. (Notes in parentheses may be omitted.)

All other inversions are interpreted as minor 7th. * Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position. All other inversions are interpreted as minor 7th flatted 5th. * One + two + five chords are recognized only in root position. All other inversions are interpreted as suspended 4th. * If augmented chord is inverted, the lowest note will be recognized as the root. * For 7th flatted 5th chords, the lowest note played is recognized as the root or the flatted 7th. • 7th augmented and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple augmented and diminished. • For one+two+five chords, only the root is displayed. • Chord Cancel function The PortaTone also has a Chord Cancel function to stop the chord accompaniment but allow the rhythm pattern to continue playing. To use Chord Cancel, simultaneously press any three consecutive notes in the Auto Accompaniment section; for example, C, C# and D. 25
