THE KEYBOARD
It has 61 professional pace keys and can be used in the following ways:
1.When simply turned on, one single sound is enabled over the whole keyboard, together with the chord identifier.
2.The keyboard can be divided into two sections: one dedicated to accompaniment to form chords (keys on the left) and the other
one to play the melody (keys on the right).
It is possible to set the point where the keyboard will be divided into two modes:
a. by entering 79, the display indicates “
Split 19
”; this
means that the left part of the keyboard goes from the first
to the nineteenth key.
b. by entering 80, the display indicates “
Split 24
”; this
means that the left part of the keyboard goes from the first
to the twenty-fourth key.
The keyboard on the dis-
play shows the division
point with an arrow.
Chords can be played in the FREE CHORD mode, which means in the traditional way, or in the EASY CHORD mode, which
means in the simplified mode (see the EASY CHORD paragraph).
