Post by: bluebeat on March 01, 2019, 11:05:18 PM
Hi fellows.
In "Song chords"

Can somebody please let me know.
Thank you.

1+8 means octave only, for example notes C4 + C5
1+5 means quint only, (chord without third) for example C4 + G4

See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_chord

v.muller,
Thank you for solving mystery! (I do not believe this is in the manual)

Best regards,
Misha.

This is standard chord types.
Yamaha keyboards know them as well.
