Playing Styles

DGX-650 Owner’s Manual

Basic Guide

If you want to fully enjoy playing in various Styles but don’t know how to play the appropriate chords, Smart

Chord is very useful. This function lets you control Styles with just a single finger as long as you know the key of

your playing music, even if you don’t know any chord fingering such as major, minor, diminished and so on.

Appropriate chords suited for the music genre will sound whenever you press a single note, as if you were playing

the “right” chords.

Select the Style which you want to play

with, as described in steps 1–2 on page

28.

Press the [EXIT] button to return to the

MAIN display.

Press the [SMART CHORD] button to

turn on the Smart Chord function.

Hold down the [SMART CHORD] button

until the SMART CHORD setting display

appears.

On the KEY SIGNATURE page, use the

dial to select the Key Signature.

Make sure to select the Key Signature which is

same as that on your music score, or your desired

key for playing. Check the Key Signature indica-

tion at the right bottom corner of the display.
