Chord root and type • This area sets the chord root and type for the initial (default) playback of the pattern. • For each chord, you can select from among 12 roots and 28 types. • For each chord, you can also select a separate on-bass or original bass setting. On-bass: Converts all bass-type phrases into repetitions of the selected on-bass pitch. (All bassphrase notes automatically transpose into the selected pitch.) Original bass: Causes all bass-type phrases to transpose to the selected "original bass" chord (root and type). All notes within the bass phrase transpose to constituent notes of the "original bass" chord. • For a full chord listing, refer to the QY700 Reference Listings (separately bound). 0101 1101 Chord root C, C , D, E , E, F, F , G, A , A, B , B Chord type M, M7, 6, 7, m, m7, m6, mM7, m7( 5), dim, aug, sus4, add9, M7(9), 6(9), 7(9), madd9, m7(9), m7(11), 7( 5), 7( 5), 7( 9), 7( 9), 7(13), 7( 13), 7sus4, 7( 11),--- (THRU) If you do not want to use fingered chording 1.
