Fingered Chords Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized in the Fingered mode. Fingered Chords in the Key of C Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them. NOTE If the chord is inverted (ie. , C-E-G is played as G-C-E), the PortaTone will still recognize it as a C chord. Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position, however; all other inversions are interpreted as minor 7th/flatted 5th. l If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted, the lowest note will be recognized as the root. l 7th flatted 5th chords may be played with the lowest note as the root or the 7th. l 9th chords are recognized only in root position; all other inversions are interpreted as suspended 4th. l Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple augmented and diminished. l The PortaTone also has a Chord Cancel function to stop the chord accompaniment but allow the rhythm pattern to continue playing, To use Chord Cancel, simultaneously press any three consecutive notes in the AUTO ACCOMP.

NOTE When the One Touch Setting is on, selecting another Style will automatically reset the tempo to the default of the selected Style. 8 Song Mode The Song mode features special Songs and Jam Track patterns that have been created using the rich sounds and sophisticated accompaniment functions of the PortaTone. The Songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play along with them on the keyboard. Also, by using the Minus One function, you can "mute" the original melody and play it manually on the keyboard yourself. The Jam Track patterns in this mode let you "jam" or play along with a variety of dynamic rhythm styles and chord changes. If playback is not stopped, all Songs play back repeatedly in succession, indefinitely. (However, if Minus One is on, only the selected Song repeatedly plays back. ) If a Jam Track pattern is selected, only the selected pattern repeats indefinitely. About the Minus One Function Selecting and Playing a Song or Jam Track Pattern 1. Press the SONG button to select the Song mode. Minus One, as its name implies, takes away the melody part of the Song, allowing you to play that part yourself. You can turn Minus One on before starting a Song, or do it even while a Song is playing. To help you play the "missing" melody, scores for all Songs have been provided; see pages 13-22. To use the Minus One function with the selected Song, press the MINUS ONE button (either before starting the Song or while it is playing).
