You can change the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the auto accompaniment key range using either the "Single Finger" or "Fingered" method. With Single Finger you can simply play a one-, two- or three-finger chord indication (see "Single Finger Chords" below). The Fingered technique is that of conventionally playing all the notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the EZ-30 "understands" what chord you indicate and then automatically generates the accompaniment. Single Finger Chords Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh. (The key of C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules. For example, Bb7 is played as Bb and A. ) C C To play a major chord: Press the root note of the chord. Cm To play a minor chord: Press the root note together with the nearest black key to the left of it. C7 To play a seventh chord: Press the root note together with the nearest white key to the left of it. Cm7 To play a minor seventh chord: Press the root note together with the nearest white and black keys to the left of it (three keys altogether).
