is Lowrey’s chord recognition system that has the unique ability to respond to different methods of
forming lower keyboard chords. MCS will reply whether you form one and two finger MCS chords or if you
play multi-fingered chords. Pressing a Rhythm Style button activates
MCS
and lights the red, blue, and green
chord lights.
The
MCS CHORD CHART
in the back of this book lists the minimum number of notes needed to form certain
chords on the Lowrey Keyboard using
MCS
. Illustrations of Major, Minor, and Seventh Chords with
MCS

MAJOR CHORD:
( C, F, G, B
b
, F#, etc.) Any Major chord can be played with the traditional three notes or a
single note. To play a one-finger major chord, simply touch the key on the lower keyboard that matches the
letter name of the chord. For example, to play a “C” MAJOR CHORD (usually just called a “C” chord),
play a C note with your left hand on the lower keyboard. Use the RED light as a guide.
