To start playing the synthesizer, you should choose the correct and convenient position for you behind the instrument. The main thing is that the elbows of a novice musician are on the same level with the keyboard.
The accompaniment control is set using several keys located in the lower octave of the synthesizer. Chord labels refer to notes that are usually written on the synthesizer on the left side of the keyboard above the keys. Among the most popular ways to control and tune the synthesizer, it is worth noting: envelope tuning is used to quickly change the characteristics of the sound. Different synthesizer models include their own number of envelopes. Tracking (dynamic and keyboard) is used to control the speed and position of the keys pressed. Before performing any exercise, you must select a game mode. The first mode for playing the synthesizer is Fingered. In this mode, you cannot create a melody, the large octave is blocked, and you can play on the synthesizer only chords that include three or four chords. In order to be able to hear how the chord sounds, it is necessary to successively press 3-4 sounds located through the note. If you change the pitch of the sounds or their places, the chord will sound the same. These chords are automatic accompaniment and are played exclusively with the left hand. The chord name is shown on the synthesizer display. Full Range Chord sound includes all keys. If you hold down certain keys or press everything at the same time, you will hear a chord. Automatic accompaniment in the CFSio Hord mode makes it possible to play 4 types of chords at once without special skills and knowledge. If you are going to attend the first lesson on learning to play the synthesizer, you should use some tips: write the numbers 2-4 above each letter, depending on the number of fingers required to play the chord. pressing a few more keys. The chord should be pressed strictly with the indicated syllable of the text, which is marked with the required number. Harmony is maintained until the moment when the syllable is changed. If you play with rhythm on in the future, you do not need to hold the keys.
