Hi Grubba99,

I own a Pa80 and it will recognize some pretty sophisticated chords that are not documented in the manual. The Pa80 defaults to B2-C3 split point, although you can reset it anywhere you want. This means anything below middle C is chord recognition territory.

If you finger, in the octave just below middle C, CDE&A, you get a C69 chord and if you add the F to that, you get a Dm79 chord. If you drop down and play FGA&D you get an F69 chord and if you move up and play GAB&E you get a G69 chord but if you then add the C, you get an Am79 chord! So it doesn't always play what you might expect, but it will repeat those choices, so if you make up your own chart, or simply play around enough to learn them, then you can get good jazz chords for backing. As far as soloing goes, if you stay within the notes of the chords (mostly) then everything will sound OK.

BTW, as a note, Fijian is a mis-spelling of Phrygian, which is the scale you get when you play only white keys starting on E, and which sounds like a minor key.
