Playing Style (Accompaniment) Chords

Looking Up Chords Using the Dictionary

If you know a chord name but aren’t sure how to ﬁnger the chord on the keyboard,

you can look it up using the “dictionary” function.

Press the [Dict.] button.

For this example lets look up the ﬁngering for GM7. Find the keys

(labeled beneath the keyboard) and press the G key (no sound will be pro-

duced). The root G will appear in the display.

Find the keys (labeled beneath the keyboard) and press the M7

key (no sound will be produced). The ﬁngering for the speciﬁed chord — root

+ chord type — will appear on both the score and the graphic keyboard in the

display.

Referring to the display, try ﬁngering the chord on the keyboard. If you play the

chord correctly the chord name in the display will ﬂash.

Dict.

• Major chords are usually indi-

cated by the root name only.

For example “C” on a score

refers to a “C Major” chord. To

look up the ﬁngering for a major

chord press the root key and

then the M chord type key.
