In this mode, you can use one finger to play all the chords you need. It works like this: You open the Style Track editor and locate the two Easy Mode Scale settings. Here you tell the program which key you plan to play in (Easy Mode Key) and the tonality of the song (Easy Mode Scale).
Simply put, if the song is in major, select Major, if it is in minor, select Harmonic Minor.If you for example select C and Major as your key and tonality, pressing C will give you a C Major chord, pressing D will give you a D Minor, E will give you an E minor, F an F major, etc. Notes outside the scale are not recognized, and therefore do not modify the Style at all.
But you can also add tensions to the chords.• If you press a key one semitone above the root note you get a "6" chord. Pressing "C" and C#" gives you C6 or Cm6, depending on the key you are in (if the chord is a major or minor).
• If you add the key two semitones above the root you get a major 7th. For example, pressing "E" and "F#" gives you an Emaj7 or a Em7, depending on which key you are in.
• If you press the key three semitones above the root note, you are forcing the program to play a minor.
• You can add these keys together. For example, pressing "C", "C#", "D" and "Eb", gives you a Cm7/6, even if the tonality suggests a major chord for that key.
• A single finger gives you a major chord.
• Adding the key immediately to the left turns the chord into a major 7th (for example a Cmaj7).
• Adding the note two semitones below gives you a “common” (dominant) 7th chord (for example a C7).
• Adding a minor triad turns the chord into a minor.
• To the minor chord you can add a (minor) 7th by adding a key two semitones below the root note.
• A "sus4" chord is created by playing it as it is, that is root note, fourth and fifth.
• A diminished chord is created by playing the root note and a diminished fifth, for example C and Gb.
• An augmented chord is created by playing it as it is, i.e. the root note plus a major triad and an augmented fifth (for example C and G#).
• A single finger gives you a major chord.
• Adding the next white key to the left gives you a major 7th chord (for example a C7).
• Adding the next black key to the left turns the chord into a minor.
• Adding the next white key to the left and the next black key after that turns the chord into a minor 7th (for example Cm7).
• "maj7" chords can be created by playing them "as is", for example, to get a Cmaj7, play C, E, G and B.
• A single finger gives you a major chord.
• Adding the next ”two” white keys to the left gives you a major 7th chord (for example a C7).
• Adding the next key to the left turns the chord into a minor.
• Adding the next white key to the left and the next black key after that turns the chord into minor 7th (for example Cm7).
• "maj7" chords can be created by playing them "as is", for example, to get a Cmaj7, play C, E, G and B.
