Chord Mode
Chord Basics
This section is a brief introduction to the basics of chords.
Chord Construction
1. When three or more notes are played together, they form a chord.
A chord is the basic component of harmony, and each note in the
chord is generally built according to a principle of thirds.
2. In most music, the fundamental chord is the “triad.” The notes that
make up a chord are determined according to their position: the
lowest note is called the “root”, the one a third interval above the
root is called the “third”, and the one a fth interval above the root is
called the “fth”.
3. The root note, also known as the tonic, is the most important note in
a chord. It stabilizes the sound by determining the“mode” of the
chord, xing the composition of the other notes in the chord. The
name of the chord structure depends on the interval of each note
above the root note in the chord.
• When the root pitch is a perfect fth away from the fth note and a
major or minor third from the third note, they are called “major chords”
and “minor chords”.
• When the root pitch is a major third and an augmented fth or a minor
triad and a diminished fth from the third note and fth note, they are
called the “augmented chord” and “diminished chord”.
According to the principle of third superposition, we can add a seventh
(seven intervals from the root note) and ninth(nine intervals from the root
note) on the triad to form a “seventh chord”, “ninth chord”, “eleventh
chord” and “thirteenth chord”.
Please refer to a chord chart or use a chord reference for more informa-
tion on chord types.

Style
Chord Inversion
The “inversion” of a chord is formed by turning the root note upward
and placing the third or fth note in the lowest position. The chord is
called an “inversion chord” when the root of the chord is not in the
lowest position.
This instrument supports playing chords by using inversion chord
ngering. When Bass inversion mode is turned on, the ngering of
standard chords and the ngering of inversion chords will have dier-
ent eects.
Chord Name
A chord name can tell you almost everything you need to know about
a chord, including: the root of the chord, whether the chord is a major
chord or a minor chord, an augmented chord or a diminished chord, a
seventh chord or a ninth chord, and so on.
For example, the name below clearly indicates that the root of the
chord is C, and the chord type is a minor triad, so this chord is a
minor triad with C as the root.
Please refer to a chord chart or use a chord reference for more infor-
mation on chord names.
Fingered
The default chord detect mode of this instrument is Fingered.
You can either use Single-ngered or Multi-ngered.
Note:
In Single-ngered Mode, you can play Major chords, Minor chords,
Seventh chords and Minor seventh chords by using up to three
ngers. Let’s take for example a chord with root C and introduce the
ngering for these four chords.
In Single Finger mode, you can play these four chords with a single
nger.
Multi-ngered
Multi-ngered mode only detects multi-nger chords. Let’s take
forexample a chord with root C and introduce ngering according to a
chord chart or chord reference.
Mаjor Triad
Only press the root note on the key-
board.
Minor Triad
