Auto Bass/Chord Fun Blocks
The BK-4B is equipped with a "Fun Block" section of five buttons which can be used in conjunction with
the Auto
Rhythm
section (see p. 7).
It enables you to play a variety of alternating bass chord rhythms
and implies that the pedal and chords automatically match the melody notes, simply by holding down
either a single lower manual key or a lower manual chord, according to which fun block button you press.
From your very first keyboard attempt, the auto bass chord feature will let you sound like a pro, making
full rhythmic use of the lower manual and pedals.
Here is how it works.

Press the Single Finger Chord button.
Now,
if you press a C key on the lower manual, a C major chord will play in an alternating pattern which
matches the rhythm

continue,

stop
as soon
as the
key
is
released.
If the Minor Chord (left) foot piston

If the Seventh Chord (right) foot piston

C Chord
at this time, the chord will change to a seventh
(i.e.,
from C major to C seventh).
Releasing the Seventh
Chord foot piston will change the chord back to major.
If.both foot pistons are held down at the same time, a
