CHORD BASICS
A chord, in music, is any harmonic set of three or more notes
that is heard as if sounding simultaneously. The most frequently
encountered chords are triads. A triad is a set of three notes
that can be stacked in thirds. When stacked in thirds, the triad's
members, from lowest pitched tone to highest, are called: the Root,
the Third, and the Fifth.
TRIAD TYPE
There are following basic triad types:
CHORD INVERSION
We dene this chord its root is not in the bass (i.e., is not the lowest
note) as an inversion chord. When the root is in the bass, we call
the chord: root-position chord. If we put the Third and Fifth in the
root position, then it forms “Inversion”, we call this chord “Inversion
Chord”. See the following major triad and its inverted chord.
CHORD NAME
The chord name contains two parts: Chord root and Chord type.
SINGLE FINGER
Single nger type not only can detect single nger but also can
detect multi nger. And the single nger makes it easily to play
chords through only one, two or three keys. Including major, minor,
seventh, and minor seventh chord. Refer to relevant picture on the
right for details.
MULTI-FINGER
Multi-nger allows you to play chords in normal ngering. Try
playing the 32 chord types in C scale as listed on the right.
Note:
In full range mode, the entire keyboard will only recognize chords
played in normal ngering.
