Specifying Chords in the Normal Mode
When the MODE switch is set to NORMAL during step recording,
you can specify chords using a method that is different from CASIO
Chord and Fingered fingerings. This chord specification method can
be used to input 18 different chord types using only two keyboard
keys, so chords can be specified even if you don't know how to actu-
ally play them.
