Using the Chord Book

The Chord Book mode of this keyboard lets you use button

operations to sound a chord, even if you do not know how to

finger it on the keyboards. Specifying a chord using the Chord

Book also causes its Auto Accompaniment to play.

What is a chord?

A chord is made up of a root note, upon which is stacked a

number of other notes. A variety of different chords can be

created by changing the notes stacked onto a root.

<Example: C chord>

Chord Names

Chords are named using upper-case letters from A through

G, which indicate the root note of the chord. If the root note

is a sharp or flat, the chord itself is sharp or flat. A chord

name may also be followed by a degree number or other

symbols that indicate certain characteristics about the chord.
