Hi Paul,

Yes indeed, the QY70 DOES recognize all chord inversions just like the full-sized Yamaha arranger keyboards.

The QY70 (when connected to a lightweight battery powered external keyboard controller) is an ultra small, lightweight and pro sounding arranger keyboard/sequencer suitable to take traveling.

Highly recommended for playing/recording in the car, airplane and in the professional studio too. I may even take it out for gigging because it sounds that good.
