This seing is enabled when the split function is on. When split is o, “Fingered3” is
enabled.
Fingered1: You can play a single note or multiple notes. When you play a single note,
this is recognized as a major chord.
Fingered2: You need to play at least three notes for the chord to be recognized. Playing
only one note will play back in unison. The root and the 5th will be recognized as a
major chord when you play them.
Fingered3: You always need to play at least three notes for the chord to be recognized.
Fingered3/Bass: The Fingered3 seing is enabled, with the addition of bass inversions.
The lowest note of an inverted chord (the lowest note that you play of a chord) is always
considered to be the root of the chord. You can use this to make specify composite
chords like Am7/G, F/C and so on.
One Finger: Chord recognition works as follows.
- Single notes played are recognized as major chords.
- Play the root of the chord and then the white note to the left of it together for a seventh
chord (for example. if you play C3 and B2 together, you will get a C7 chord).
- Play the root of the chord and then the black note to the left of it together for a minor
chord (for example, if you play C3 and B 
♭
 2 together, you will get a C minor chord).
- Play the root of the chord and then the black and white notes to the left of it together
for a minor seventh chord (for example, if you play C3, B2 and B 
♭
 2 together, you will
get a Cm7 chord).
