q Chords 5 Easy Accompaniment for Other Instruments One chord can be entered per quarter note. Place the cursor at the required quarter-note division on the display and enter the chord via the micro-keyboard in the normal way (see page 48). In the example display to the left, an A major chord is entered on the first beat of the first measure, a B minor seventh on the third beat of the first measure, and a D major on the first beat of the second measure. q Specifying the Bass Note For a Chord Example: Enter a Bm7 chord with E in the bass. B m9 OCT DOWN E m7 BASS You can specify the bass note to be used with any chord by using the [OCT DOWN] key (note the "BASS" marking below the key). Enter the chord in the normal way, press the [OCT DOWN/BASS] key (a slash will appear below the chord name), then press the key on the micro-keyboard corresponding to the desired bass note (the bass note will appear to the right of the slash). You can add bass notes to existing chords without having to re-enter the entire chord by simply moving the cursor to the chord and using the [OCT HINT DOWN/BASS] key to specify the bass note. A bass note can be removed from a chord by placing the cursor at the chord and either re-entering the chord or pressing the [OCT DOWN/BASS] key twice. 67
