• Notes in parentheses can
be omitted.
• For FINGERED, FIN-
GERED ON BASS, and AI
FINGERED, if you play
any three adjacent keys
(including black keys), the
chord sound will be can-
celed and only the rhythm
instruments will continue
playing (Chord Cancel
function). This let you play
back only the rhythm.
• Playing two same root
keys in the adjacent
octaves produces accom-
paniment based only on
the root.
• A perfect fifth (1 + 5) pro-
duces accompaniment
based on the root and the
fifth.
• The auto accompaniment
Style will sometimes not
change when related
chords are played in
sequence (e.g. some
minor chords followed by
the minor seventh).
• You can also have the
CVP-205/203 “teach” you
how to play Fingered
chords. From the CHORD
FINGERING display
(page 131), specify the
chord you want to learn,
and the notes you should
press are indicated in the
display.
