NOTES · Except for the chords specified in note*1 above, inverted fingerings (i. e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords as the standard fingering. · Except for the exception specified in note*2 above, all of the keys that make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key will not play the desired FINGERED chord. FINGERED Accompaniment Keyboard and Melody Keyboard Accompaniment keyboard Melody keyboard FULL RANGE CHORD This accompaniment method provides a total of 38 different chord types: the 15 chord types available with FINGERED plus 23 additional types. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any other input (that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern) is interpreted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate accompaniment keyboard, so the entire keyboard, from end to end, can be used for both melody and chords. NOTE The accompaniment keyboard can be used for playing chords only. No sound will be produced if you try playing single melody notes on the accompaniment keyboard.
