Chords are often writtenin a kind of shorthand that makes them instantly recognizable (and gives you the freedom toplay them with the voicing or inversion that you prefer). Once you understand the basic principlesof harmony and chords, it’s very simple to use this shorthand to write out the chords of a song.First, write the root note of the chord in an uppercase letter. If you need to specify sharp or flat,indicate that to the right of the root. The chord type should be indicated to the right as well. Examplesfor the key of C are shown below.Major chordCMinor chordCmAugmented chordCaugDiminished chordCdimFor simple major chords, the type is omitted.One important point: Chords are made up of notes “stacked” on top of each other, and the stackednotes are indicated in the chord name of the chord type as a number — the number being the distanceof the note from the root. (See the keyboard diagram below.) For example, the minor 6thchord includes the 6th note of the scale, the major 7th chord has the 7th note of the scale, etc.The Intervals of the ScaleTo better understand the intervals and the numbersused to represent them in the chord name, study thisdiagram of the C major scale:Dominant 7th (flatted 7th)C D E F G A B C D E FRoot 4th3rd2nd7th6th5th11th9thOctaveOther ChordsCsus4C7Cm75th4thDominant7thMajor chordDominant7thMinor chordCM7Cm7b5Cm6C(9)7thMajor chordDominant7thDiminishedchordMinorchord6th9th50
Selecting and Playing StylesMulti PadsThese convenient pads let you instantly trigger various musical and rhythmicphrases as you play the PSR-260. There are a total of 40 different sounds orphrases (10 banks, with four pad sounds for each bank). The phrases play back atthe same speed as the Tempo setting, and they also change harmonically alongwith the accompaniment chords (both in the Style and Song modes).1 Select the Pad function in the Overall menu.Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until MULTI PAD isselected in the display.Current Pad bank number01PianistIndicates Multi Padfunction is selectedTEMPO1162 Select the desired bank.Use the numeric keypad to select the desired bank number (1 - 10).

For a completelist of the available banks and their contents, see page 57.3 Play the Multi Pads.Press one of the Pads. The phrase plays uninterrupted until it is finished.Pressing it repeatedly (before the phrase completely plays back) creates a“stutter” effect.In the Style mode, melodic-type sounds correctly follow the chord changes.All sounds play back in perfect time with the current Tempo setting. WhenOne Touch Setting (page 26) is on, appropriate Multi Pad banks for theselected style are automatically called up.
