Recognizing the root note (Bass Inversion)
The instrument’s internal arranger recognizes chords by analyzing all the
notes you play in the chord recognition area, and considering their function
in a chord. You can however always force the lowest (leftmost) note of the
chord to be considered the chord’s root of a slashed chord (such as ‘C/E’ or
‘F/C’).
▪ Press the BASS INVERSION button to turn its indicator on. The lowest note
of a chord will always be detected as the root note of a slashed chord.
▪ Press the BASS INVERSION button to turn its indicator off. The lowest note
will be scanned together with the other chord notes, and will not always be
considered as the root note.
