BradMZ: No worries. Thanks for getting back to me. No, it doesn't change when you change the rhythm or one touch preset for anything else. Yeah, I don't think it is possible, but I was hoping someone here could come up with something I was missing or maybe some kind of clever hack.

Hi Dinkser, as detailed above, I have the same problem as you. As of yet there has been no answer. The frustrating thing is that I seem to be having a difficult time getting people to even understand the question. I think you are asking the same thing as I am though, so that's comforting. Let us know if you find anything.

Hi Jokeyman123, I am familiar with one-touch preset mode, and I think you may have misunderstood my question, or maybe I wasn't clear enough, unless I'm missing something. I suspect that you're talking about the tone of the chords played DURING rhythm accompaniment. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm trying to change the tones used for chords played in the simplified chord mode that is activated once ACCOMP has been turned ON, but BEFORE any rhythm has actually been started. In this mode (assuming a simplified chord fingering modes is selected, e.g. CASIO CHORD), pressing a single key on the left side plays a chord. It's as if you've pressed all the keys in the chord at once. But the chord is played in an organ sound and cannot be changed. I want to be able to change it.

BradMZ, Thanks for letting me know about Mike being away. To answer your questions:

1) I've got the PX-330.

2) The organ sound that I want to change is produced only by the chord section (the left side; what Casio calls the "Accompaniment Keyboard"), not the melody side.

3) I have tried all the chord fingering modes including Casio Chord.

To be clear, when ACCOMP is ON but the rhythm hasn't been started, Casio Chord mode does exactly what I want -- I can play chords using one finger. It's as if I was pressing all the chord keys at once on my own -- however, I cannot change the tone used for this mode, and I want to make it sound like a piano.

Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks Jokeyman123. I sent him a private message including a link to this thread.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I am already very familiar with all the options you describe. None of them allow me to play chords using the simplified fingering modes without starting a rhythm while maintaining the capability to change tone. Again, I can play chords with one finger when ACCOMP is ON and the rhythm has not been started. But the piano uses an organ sound and there's no way to change it.

I am missing my left hand but am able to hit one key with it. I want to be able to play simple chords on the left side. When ACCOMP (auto-accompaniment) is turned ON but an accompaniment pattern (e.g. INTRO, NORMAL, VARIATION, etc.) has not been selected yet, the piano goes into a simplified chord mode where it plays chords based on single key presses. How do I change the tone (instrument) for this mode?
