Depending on the rhythm that was selected, some of the notes that make up a chord may be omitted when you play the chord on the accompaniment keyboard in the Chord Book Mode. This is due to the internal chord conversion function, arrangements, and polyphony limitations. Because of this, you should always play the chords indicated on the display on the melody keyboard (the range that does not have chord names printed above the keys). E-27
