Manual Chord Button
You will recall that the manual chord button is just to the right of the autochord button. It works similarly to the autochord button, in that it has four positions. Return the QChord to its power-on defaults and press a chord. The full accompaniment will play. Now let go of the button. Notice that the chord still keeps playing, although you are not holding it down. In this default position, the hold LED is lit. Now press the manual chord button once and press a chord. Notice that the accompaniment stops, and, if the bossanova rhythm is selected, a strings voice sounds. Both the hold and manual LED's are now lit. Let go of the chord button. You will note that the chord keeps playing. Now press the manual chord button again and press a chord. The accompaniment is still absent, and, if you let go, the chord stops playing. The manual LED is now lit, while the hold LED is off. Press the manual chord button again and press a chord. This time, the accompaniment returns, but the chord stops playing if you stop pushing the chord button. Both manual and hold LED's are off in this position. In summary:
hold on
manual and hold on
Manual on, hold off; and
Manual and hold off.
