(Ex: "F" + "~" → "Fm", "Em" + "~" → "E") You can also play various chords by pressing the chord buttons (7, M7, sus4, etc.) at the same time. * Some functions are paid options ◆ You can play any song When you set the Key setting to the key of a song, the fundamental chords (diatonic chords) used for that song are assigned to the buttons on the screen, so you can easily play songs with any key.
