Chord Inversion
The “inversion” of a chord is formed by turning the root note upward
and placing the third or fifth 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
fingering. When Bass inversion mode is turned on, the fingering of
standard chords and the fingering of inversion chords will have differ-
ent effects.
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-fingered or Multi-fingered.
Note:
In Single-fingered Mode, you can play Major chords, Minor chords,
Seventh chords and Minor seventh chords by using up to three
fingers. Let’s take for example a chord with root C and introduce the
fingering for these four chords.
In Single Finger mode, you can play these four chords with a single
finger.
Multi-fingered
Multi-fingered mode only detects multi-finger chords. Let’s take
forexample a chord with root C and introduce fingering according to a
chord chart or chord reference.
