Chord Basics
A chord, in music, is a harmonic set of three or more notes that are
heard simultaneously. The most common type of chord is a triad. A
triad is a set of three notes that can be stacked in thirds. When
arranged this way, the triad's notes, from lowest pitched to highest, are
called: the Root, the Third, and the Fifth.
Auto Accompaniment
Triad Type
The basic triad types are as follows:
C
M
Y
CM
MY
CY
CMY
K
Major Triad
A root with a major third added above and a perfect fifth
constitutes a “Major Triad”.
Minor Triad
A root with a minor third added above and a perfect fifth
constitutes a “Minor Triad”.
Augmented
Triad
Diminished
Triad
A root with a major third added above and an
augmented fifth constitutes an “Augmented Triad”.
A root with a minor third added above and a diminished
fifth constitutes a “Diminished Triad”.
Chord Inversion
When a chord’s root is not the lowest note in the triad, it is called an
inversion chord. When the root note is the lowest note, it is called a
root-position chord. If we put the Third and Fifth in the root position, it

control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato, audio
panning, and program change information to change the voice
selections.
