Playing Rhythms I FINGERED In this mode, you specify chords by playing them as you would on a piano, inside the accompaniment keyboard range. To specify a C-chord, you would play C-E-G. FINGERED Accompaniment Keyboard and Melody Keyboard Accompaniment keyboard Melody keyboard NOTE • The accompaniment keyboard can be used for playing chords only. No sound will be produced if you try playing single melody notes on the accompaniment keyboard. C Cm Cdim Caug *1 Csus4 C7 *2 Cm7 *2 Cmaj7 *2 Cm7 5 C7 5 *1 C7sus4 Cadd9 Cmadd9 CmM7 *2 Cdim7 *1 NOTE • See the "Fingered Chord Chart" on page A-2 for details on playing chords with other roots. *1: Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest note is the root. *2: The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th G. NOTE • Except for the chords specified in note*1 above, inverted fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords as the standard fingering. • Except for the exception specified in note*2 above, all of the keys that make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key will not play the desired FINGERED chord. I FULL RANGE CHORD This accompaniment method makes it possible to play a total of 38 chord variations: the 15 available with FINGERED plus 23 additional variations. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any multi-key input that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern is interpreted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate accompaniment keyboard, and the entire keyboard from end-to-end can be used for both melody and chords.
