@@phillc Nope, as I can see in your video the active chord in play (C major, A minor etc) shwos on the screen only if the style is running (and acc is turned on), is there a way it can show without having the style running (for learning purposes)?
Phil, thank you for this very informative video on the many different ways to play chords on the DGX670. Phil, when you were attempting to play a Smart Chord and it was not sounding right that was because you were playing triads. With this Fingering Type you select Smart Chord from the Menu and enter the Key of the music you are playing which allows you for example to play a C Major by just pressing a single C key in the Chord Area which you have defined with your Split Point. This feature provides new keyboard players like myself who do not possess your advanced chording skills to be able to control the Style with just a single finger while concentrating on improving our right hand melodies. If anyone requires further information on the various Chord Fingering Types you can refer to page fifty-six of the DGX-670 Owner's Manual.
@@robertsaunders7179 Thanks. I'll look into it. The DGX-670's OS is extremely convoluted. It's the most complicated synth I've ever owned, and I haven't been able to do much with it other than waste a lot of time. I have used it successfully as a controller for Pianoteq Pro, but just as a virtual grand paino, which does sound very nice.
@@robertsaunders7179 I looked at the user manual. Many different types. After you choose one, how do you get it to stick so that the instrtument always stays in the mode you have chosen.
Thanks for the great question @tomekwarszawa.

Is there a way to see the chord in full keyboard mode while the style is not running?
Thanks for the question. Do you mean see some sort of textual or visual notation about which chord one is playing?

can I play like for example: Chord: C major but the bass is G? is it possible? C major on G?
The accompaniment may do that if you are on Full Ai Keyboard.
@phillc this keyboard can do it. It's called bass inversion.
Do you know why my instrument going by self from mode D to A by self when i using accompaniment, thank you for your video.
