Bass Inversion (Bass Inv)

Use this function to change the way in which the Arranger
reads the chords you play.
When this function is off (default), the Acc Bass part plays the
root of the chords that feed the Arranger. If you play a "C" (or C
chord), the bass sounds a "C"; if you play an A minor chord (or if
you press "A" and the "C" to its right), the bass sounds an A, etc.
By activating Bass Inversion, you can specify the note played by
the A. Bass part (the lowest note of your chords). Switch on Bass
Inversion for songs that rely on bass rather than on chord pat-
terns (for example C – C/B – C/Bb, etc.).
