• If you play any three adjacent
keys (including black keys), the
chord sound will be cancelled
and only the rhythm instruments
will continue playing (CHORD
CANCEL function).
• An octave (1+8) produces ac-
companiment based only on the
root.
• A perfect fifth (1+5) produces
accompaniment based only on
the root and fifth which can be
used with many major and minor
chords.
• The chord fingerings listed are all
in “root” position, but other inver-
sions can be used — with the
following exceptions:
* 6 chords are only recognized
in root position. All other inver-
sions are interpreted as m7.
* 6 9 chords are only recognized
in root position. All other inver-
sions are interpreted as m11.
* m6 chords are only recognized
in root position. All other inver-
sions are interpreted as m7
b
5.
* 1+2+5 chords are only recog-
nized in root position. All other
inversions are interpreted as
sus4.
* With aug and dim7 chords the
lowest note played is assumed
to be the root.
* With 7

lowest note played is assumed
to be the root or
