If the chord is played on base of the illustration for multi-nger chords below, it will

With this method, you can play chords with only one, two or three ngers within
the capabilities of the auto accompaniment. Here we show you some examples
of single nger chords (C, Cm, C7 and Cm7).
When the A.B.C. function is activated, press the keys to the left of the split

n Chord basics
A chord consists of three or more notes played together. The most commonly
used chord is the triad consisting of three notes: Root, third and fth of the corre‐
sponding scale. The C major chord for example is formed from the notes C (root),
E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fth note of the C major scale).
In the C major chord shown, the lowest note is the root (this is the basic form of
the chord - if you play other notes of the chord as the lowest note, this is called
‘chord inversion’). The root is the central sound of the chord on which the other
chord notes are built upon. The interval between adjacent notes and the root
determines whether the result is a major or minor third.
n Chord structure
The lower interval in our triad (between root and third) determines whether the
result is a major or minor triad. In addition, we can shift the highest note by a half
step up or down to produce two additional chords.
The basic characteristic of the triad remains even if we change the order of the
notes to create dierent inversions. Consecutive chords can be softly connected
in a chord progression, e.g. by choosing suitable chord inversions (also called
‘voicings’).

n Chord names
Chord names will tell you everything you need to know about a chord. Through
the chord name, you know the root, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished
chord, whether a large or atted seventh is needed and what changes or ten‐
sions are used - all at a glance.
n Some chord types
9.15 Chord dictionary
The Chord dictionary is basically a built-in ‘Chord book’ assisting you to nd the right
tones of a chord if you e.g. know only the chord name, but not how to play it.
1.DICT 1 (chord learning mode)
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [DICT.] to call up the ‘DICT.1’ mode. In this mode,
the keys from C4 on are used to assign the chord type, and the keys from C6 to
assign the root note. If you have pressed the keys for chord type and root note,
the display shows the chord name and the individual notes in the notation
system.
For example, If you want to play a Cm7 chord, press the C6 key (root note C in
the Cm7 chord). You will hear no sound, but the root note is displayed.
Press the A4 key (chord type for minor-seventh chord, ‘m7’). You will hear no
sound, but the chord name and the notes you should play for the specied
chord appear in the display.
2.DICT 2 (chord testing mode)
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [DICT.] again to call up the ‘DICT.2’ mode. The dis‐
play shows a randomly generated chord name, but not its individual notes in
the notation system. If you play the right chord within three seconds, the next
randomly generated chord name appears. If this does not happen, the indi‐
vidual notes of the chord in the notation system appear automatically in the
display.

Introduction
Balanced and unbalanced transmis‐
sion
1/4" TS phone plug (mono, unbal‐
anced)
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable
equipment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.
Please note these advices, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated:
Even if a plug ts into the socket, an incorrect connection may result in a destroyed
power amp, a short circuit or ‘just’ in poor transmission quality!
Unbalanced transmission is mainly used in semi-professional environment and in hi
use. Instrument cables with two conductors (one core plus shielding) are typical rep‐
resentatives of the unbalanced transmission. One conductor is ground and shielding
while the signal is transmitted through the core.
Unbalanced transmission is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, especially at
low levels, such as microphone signals and when using long cables.
In a professional environment, therefore, the balanced transmission is preferred,
because this enables an undisturbed transmission of signals over long distances. In
addition to the conductors ‘Ground’ and ‘Signal’, in a balanced transmission a second
core is added. This also transfers the signal, but phase-shifted by 180°.
Since the interference aects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted
signals, the interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal
without any noise interference.
