CHORD GUIDE
The Chord Guide functions of the PortaTone provide powerful, easy-to-use
tools for learning chords and chord relationships. Chord Guide features
three different types of operation: Dictionary, Smart, and EZ Chord.
• Pressing the CHORD GUIDE button automatically turns on the auto accompaniment.
• When you wish to use the Style mode normally without the Chord Guide functions,
make sure that OFF is selected. To do this:
1) Press the STYLE button to select the Style mode.
2) Press the CHORD GUIDE button so that a style name is shown in the display
(instead of “Dict.,” “Smart,” or “EZ”).
Dictionary
The Dictionary type 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 With the Style mode active, select the Dictio-
nary Chord Guide.
Press the CHORD GUIDE button so that “Dict.” appears in the dis-
play.
2 Specify the root of the chord.
Press the key on the keyboard that corresponds to the desired chord
root (as printed on the panel).
