Hi Scott,

Here's some standard,common, run of the mill rootless voicings my Tyros 2 doesn't recognize:

minor chords using a 7,3, 5 combination are interpreted as major chords with a 2nd inversion- which of course they are.

major chords in a 7,3, 5 combination are interpreted as minor chords in 2nd inversion. Again it's the same thing...

Here a simple 4 note chord ii V I sequence in F major:

FABbD= Gm7 (with a 9) EABbD=C7 (with a 9, and 13th) EGAC=F (with major 7, and 9)

My Tyros 2 recognizes this as Bb maj7, Bb maj7 with a flat 5, and Asus.

These are standard "stock" vocings, nothing new or that I made up.


Yes, Yamaha does recongnize some rootless voicings, but it's too limited for my playing style.

Wouldn't be cool with they had a rootless jazz chord setting?

I really don't know if other brands can recognize these chords or not.
