Chord Types CASIO CHORD accompaniment lets you play four types of chords with minimal fingering. Chord Types Example Major chords Major chord names are marked above the keys of the accompaniment keyboard. Note that the chord produced when you press an accompaniment keyboard does not change octave, regardless of which key you use to play it. C Major (C) CC#DE E FF#GA A B B CC#DE E F Minor chords (m) To play a minor chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other accompaniment keyboard key located to the right of the major chord key. C minor (Cm) CC#DE E FF#GA A B B CC#DE E F Seventh chords (7) To play a seventh chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other two accompaniment keyboard keys located to the right of the major chord key. C seventh (C7) CC#DE E FF#GA A B B CC#DE E F Minor seventh chords (m7) To play a minor seventh chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other three accompaniment keyboard keys located to the right of the major chord key. C minor seventh (Cm7) CC#DE E FF#GA A B B CC#DE E F ❚ NOTE ❚ It makes no difference whether you press black or white keys to the right of a major chord key when playing minor and seventh chords. I FINGERED FINGERED provides you with a total of 15 different chord types. The following describes the FINGERED "Accompaniment keyboard" and "Melody keyboard", and tells you how to play a C-root chord using FINGERED. FINGERED Accompaniment Keyboard and Melody Keyboard Accompaniment keyboard Melody keyboard IMPORTANT! 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 *2 Cmadd9 *2 CmM7 *2 Cdim7 *1 See the "Fingered Chord Chart" on page A-6 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. ❚ NOTES ❚ • 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.
