Fingered Chords

Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized in the
Fingered mode.
Fingered Chords in the Key of C

If the chord is inverted (i.e., C-E-G is played as G-C-E), the YPR-50 will still recognize it as a C chord. The chord recognition
system also has the following rules and exceptions:
•Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position, however; all other inversions are interpreted as minor 7th/ flatted 5th.
•If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted, the lowest note will be recognized as the root.
•7th flatted 5th chords may be played with the lowest note as the root or the flatted 7th.
•Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple augmented and diminished.
