Topic: PSR E413 Chord Display

[dasntn]

Hi
this is my first post to this Forum!  I did search for the topic and couldn't;t find anything, so hopefully this is not a repeat of an existing post.

I have an E413 and according to the manual the Chord Display area of the display should name the chord I am playing on the keyboard. But nothing shows up in that area. If I use the Chord Dict feature, chord names are displayed in that area, so it doesn't;t appear to be a problem with the display itself. 

Any idea what might be the reason?
thanks

Dave

I'm not shure but I think it is the same with every PSR model. Have you CMP on? That is the way to show chords on the display.

Welcome to the forums, Dave!

I think the owner's manual for your keyboard should have information about chords in it, but at the bottom of the linked post is a PDF attachment of some pages I printed from two other manuals.

Hi Rudd

Thanks for the reply - I'm not sure what CMP is, so I don't know if I have it on or not (!)

Thanks SeaGtGruff!

Couldn't find much about Chord Display in the manual, just on page 56 (I think) - it seems to say that it should always be displaying the chord you are playing.

I think he meant Accompaniment, or ACMP as it's abbreviated on the panel.

This seems to be the case with my PSR-E433, as well.  I rarely use styles, except for the drum rhythm, but I thought I had seen chords display in that area of my screen during various times as I was playing or recording on my keyboard.  So, after reading this thread, I tried it on my keyboard, thinking that I might see the chords display if I turn on the split mode, but that didn't happen.  I only saw the chords display when I turned on the auto-accompaniment (ACMP) feature, so that just seems to be the way these keyboards are designed.

It will display the notes being played on a musical staff with the auto-accompaniment turned off (not sure if the E413 has this feature or not), but it will not "calculate" and display the chord you're playing unless the auto-accompaniment is turned on.

Thanks for the updates, that's very useful. I will dig in and have a look
