M1 M2 M3 M4 RIGHT LEFT DUAL TOUCH There are 2 ways to detect a chord: "single finger detect" and "multi fingers detect". If the chord played is based on "multi fingers detect", it is recognized as the "multi fingers chord". If not, "single finger chord" will be recognized. Single Finger Chords This method allows you to play chords easily within the accompaniment range of the keyboard using only one, two, or three fingers. Examples of Single Finger Chord are "C, Cm, C7 and Cm7", shown as below: To play a major chord Press the root note of the chord Multi Finger Chords This method allows you to produce an accompaniment by playing chords with normal fingerings within the accompaniment range of the keyboard. To play Multi Chords ( Example for C chords) A total of 16 chords are provided as below: To play a minor chord Press the root note together with the nearest black key to the left of it . To play a seventh chord Press the root note together with the nearest white key to the left of it . To play a minor seventh chord Press the root notes together with the nearest white and black keys to the left of it (three keys altogether) . Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords could be recognized without them. NOTE: When A. B. C. The chord will be recognized as single finger chords. 18 Style Control Chord Basics Three or more notes played together constitute a "chord". The most basic chord type is the "triad" consisting three notes: the root, third, and fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. A "C major triad", for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E(the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale). In the C major triad shown as above, the lowest note is the " root" of the chord(this is the chord's "root position". . . using other chord notes for the lowest note results in "inversion"). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors other chord notes. The distance(interval) between adjacent notes of triad in root position is either a major or minor third. The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below. The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord "voicings "). Reading Chord Names Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of a chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished, whether it requires a major or flatted seventh and what alterations or tension does it use. . . all at a glance.
