The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance interval between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third. Major third—four half steps semitones Minor third—three half steps semitones The lowest interval in our root-position triad between the root and the third determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below.
The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses By making the settings described below, however, chord detection for style accompaniment occurs over the entire range of the keyboard, allowing for even more dynamic style performance.
