In order to use the style file load function, the file must already have been transferred from the computer to the instrument. The procedure for transferring files from a computer to the instrument is described on page 89 ("Transferring Data between the Computer and Instrument"). The procedure described below loads a style file that has already been transferred from a computer to the instrument into style number 156. 1 Press the [FUNCTION] button. The currently selected function will appear in the display. 3 Execute the load operation. With the name of the style file you want to load shown in the display, press the number [0] button. 2 Press the CATEGORY [ ] and [ ] buttons as many times as necessary to select the style file load function "Sff Load". r f 4 A confirmation message for the load operation will appear. Press the [+/YES] button to actually load the file. Sff Load After about 2 seconds the name of a loadable style file will appear in the display. If multiple loadable style files have been transferred to the instrument, you can use the dial or the [+] and [-] buttons to select the other files in sequence. 74 PSR-E403/YPT-400 Owner's Manual Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions Chord Basics Two or more notes played together constitute a "chord". The most basic chord type is the "triad" consisting of three notes: the root, third, and fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale). 3rd In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the "root" of the chord (this is the chord's "root position" . . . using other chord notes for the lowest note results in "inversions"). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third. Major third­four half steps (semitones) Minor third­three half steps (semitones) Root 3rd The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below. Major chord CM Minor chord Cm Augmented chord Caug Diminished chord Cdim Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Minor 3rd The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord "voicings"). G Reading Chord Names Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses . . . all at a glance.

NOTE · Notes in parentheses can be omitted. · Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root. · A perfect fifth (1+5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth which can be used with both major and minor chords. · The chord fingerings listed are all in "root" position, but other inversions can be used--with the following exceptions: m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), 1+2+5. NOTE · Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the notes shown in parentheses are omitted. · The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e. g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh). · Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord. 76 PSR-E403/YPT-400 Owner's Manual Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions Looking Up Chords Using the Chord Dictionary The Dictionary function is essentially a built-in "chord book" that shows you the individual notes of chords. It is ideal when you know the name of a certain chord and want to quickly learn how to play it. 1 Press and hold the LESSON [START] button for longer than a second. 3 Press the "M7" (major seventh) key in Hold for longer than a second Dict. the section of the keyboard labeled "CHORD TYPE". (The note doesn't sound. ) The notes you should play for the specified chord (root note and chord type) are shown in the display, both as notation and in the keyboard diagram. 2 As an example, we'll learn how to play a GM7 (G major seventh) chord. Press the "G" key in the section of the keyboard labeled "ROOT". [. . . ] 4, Jakarta 12930, Indonesia Tel: 21-520-2577 CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA MEXICO Yamaha de México S. A. 09300, México, D.
