Left Part Hold

 
THE QUESTION: " I want to use MEMORY with the Auto Play Chord setup so the rhythm will continue when I release the left hand chord. But when I do, the left hand sounds do not stop when I release the chord. Can this be changed to play the left hand sounds only when I am playing the chord while still having the rhythm continue?"
A COMMENT FROM BOB: There have been several questions about this same subject with differing symptoms depending on the type of APC used and the playing style desired. All of them find their way back to this same solution. Special thanks to George Allison of the Key of G for placing his solution on the Technics Music Canada Forum.
Please refer to page 138 of your owners manual for a discussion of the LEFT HOLD option.
