  • Page 60: What Is A Chord

    AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — THE STYLE MODE WHAT IS A CHORD? The simple answer: Three or more notes played simultaneously is a chord. (Two notes played together is an “interval” — an interval being the distance between two different notes. This is also referred to as a “harmony.”) Depending on the intervals between the three or more notes, a chord can sound beautiful or muddy and dissonant.

  • Page 61: Writing Chord Names

    WRITING CHORD NAMES Knowing how to read and write chord names is an easy yet invaluable skill. Chords are often written in a kind of shorthand that makes them instantly recognizable (and gives you the free- dom to play them with the voicing or inversion that you prefer). Once you understand the basic principles of harmony and chords, it’s very simple to use this shorthand to write out the chords of a song.

  • Page 62: Chord Guide

    AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — THE STYLE MODE CHORD GUIDE The Chord Guide functions of the PortaTone provide powerful, easy-to-use tools for learning chords and chord relationships.

  • Page 64: Smart

    AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — THE STYLE MODE Smart The Smart type allows you to set the basic key for the chord accompani- ment. Once this is set, you can simply press single keys in the scale and have harmonically appropriate chords played automatically. For example, with the key set to C, playing an D will result in an D minor chord (rather than a harmonically inappropriate D major).

  • Page 65: Smart Chord List
