A chord is produced when several notes are played simultaneously. Chords are 

indicated by the pitch of the fundamental note of the chord (the root) and the chord 

type, which is determined by the other notes of the chord.

For example, the C m chord is expressed in terms of the root note “C” and the chord 

type “m” (minor). C m is made up of the three notes “C,” “E

” and “G.”

“C m” is indicated as the chord name on the Basic screen.

All chord roots are indicated as a letter, sometimes with

 added, and 

correspond to the notes shown below.

“Chord Intelligence” is a feature that chooses the accompaniment chords the 

moment you play a key.

To play a “C” chord, for example, you normally have to play the three keys C, E, and 

G. But with Chord Intelligence, you only have to press the C key to start a “C” chord 

accompaniment.
