Full-Range Chords
While the easy random and standard fin-
gering methods limit chord formations to
the accompaniment keys, the full-range
chord method lets you play chords of
any type on any of the MD-1600’s keys.
Set
MODE
to
FULL RANGE CHORD
and
follow the steps under “Standard Finger-
ing.” If you press three or more keys
anywhere on the keyboard that form a
chord, the MD-1600 plays that chord.
The MD-1600 responds with melody
sounds if you press fewer than three
keys.
Notes:
• In the full-range chord mode, the
MD-1600 recognizes these 23
chords in addition to the 15 chords
in the standard fingering mode
(examples show C as the base
note):
• When the composite notes of a
chord are more than five notes
apart, the lowest sound becomes
the base note.
Using FREE SESSION
The MD-1600 lets you set the keyboard
to play an automatic accompaniment
(based on your auto-rhythm selection)
while you play the melody using a tone
you select. Refer to the “Free Session
Chord Progression Chart” on Page 54
for the chord progression, tempo, and
tone associated with each auto-rhythm.
