In this page you can set various general parameters for the Style
play mode. Settings can be saved to a Performance, or STS.

Chord Recognition Mode

This parameter defines how chords are recognized by the auto-
accompaniment engine. Please note that when the SPLIT LED is
turned off, the Fingered 3 mode is always selected, and you must
always play at least three notes, to let a chord be recognized.

Note:

This parameter is the same you can find in the main page

(see “Split panel” on page 86).

Fingered 1

Play one or more notes. A full Major chord will
be recognized even if only a single note is played.

Fingered 2

You must always play two or more notes for a
chord to be recognized. If you play just one note,
a unison will be played. If you play a suspended
chord (a root+5th), a suspended chord will be
played. The full chord will be recognized when
you play three or more notes.

Fingered 3

You must always play three or more notes for a
chord to be recognized. This option is automati-
cally selected when the SPLIT LED is turned off.

One Finger

You can also compose a chord using a simplified
chord playing technique:

• If you play only one note, a Major chord is rec-
ognized.

• Play the root note, plus a white key on the left,
for a 7th. For example, play C3 + B2 for a C7.

• Play the root note, plus a black key on the left,
for a Minor chord. For example, play C3 + Bb2
for a C minor.

• Play the root note, plus a white and a black key
on the left, for a Minor 7th. For example, play C3
+ B2 + Bb2 for a C min 7.

Expert

This mode is an extension of the Fingered 2, add-
ing rootless and slashed chord recognition, often
used in jazz, fusion, modern pop and light music.

This type of chord recognition is very useful to
play piano chords typical of jazz piano players.
You don’t need to play the root note, doubling the
note already played by the bass track.
