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 setting 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 specify composite chords like
Am7/G, F/C and so on.
