*Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them.

If the chord is inverted (i.e., C-E-G is played as G-C-E), the EZ-20 will still recog- nize it as a C chord. The chord recognition system also has the following rules and exceptions:

Major 6th chords are recognized only in root position. However, all other inver- sions are interpreted as minor 7th.

Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position. However, all other inver- sions are interpreted as minor 7th/flatted 5th.

If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted, the lowest note will be rec- ognized as the root.

7th flatted 5th chords may be played with the lowest note as the root or the flat- ted 7th.

Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple augmented and diminished.

The following chords are not recognized: B 6, Bb 6, B minor 6, Bb minor 6, and B augmented.
