8.10 Chord detection

By default, the ‘Auto Bass Chord’ (A.B.C.) is disabled. Press [A.B.C. / MELODY OFF] to
enable the function. The area to the left of the split point is already known as the
chord area. When you now play a chord, both bass and chord voices will sound
together.

As the A.B.C. chord detection is based on the root note of the chord, some
chords that could be played according to the chord dictionary can not be
detected by A.B.C., such as B6, Bb6, Bb6(9), B6(9), Baug, Bbaug, Bbm6, Bm6,

Adim7, Bbdim7, Bdim.

Operating

digital piano

If the chord is played on base of the illustration for multi-finger chords below, it will
be detected as a 'multi-fingered' chord. If not, it will be detected as a 'single-finger'
chord.

n Single finger chords

With this method, you can play chords with only one, two or three fingers within
the capabilities of the auto accompaniment. Here we show you some examples
of single finger chords (C, Cm, C7 and Cm7).

When the A.B.C. function is activated, single-finger chords are detected
when playing keys to the left of the split point.

n Multi-finger chords

With this method, you can play chords with normal fingering within the capabili‐
ties of the auto accompaniment. Here we show you 32 chords using the example
of C chords.

n Chord basics

A chord consists of three or more notes played together. The most commonly
used chord is the triad consisting of three notes: Root, third and fifth of the corre‐
sponding scale. The C major chord for example is formed from the notes C (root),
E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale).
In the C major chord shown, the lowest note is the root (this is the basic form of
the chord – if you play other notes of the chord as the lowest note, this is called
‘chord inversion’). The root is the central sound of the chord on which the other
chord notes are built upon. The interval between adjacent notes and the root
determines whether the result is a major or minor third.

n Chord structure

The lower interval in our triad (between root and third) determines whether the
result is a major or minor triad. In addition, we can shift the highest note by a half
step up or down to produce two additional chords.

The basic characteristic of the triad remains even if we change the order of the
notes to create different inversions. Consecutive chords can be softly connected
in a chord progression, e.g. by choosing suitable chord inversions (also called
‘voicings’).

n Chord names

Chord names will tell you everything you need to know about a chord. Through
the chord name you know the root, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished
chord, whether a large or flatted seventh is needed and what changes or ten‐
sions are used – all at a glance.
