For the song “Violet Song.MID,” we know that this is a
Jazz Swing type of song, so we press the preset called
“Jazz Standard.” By doing this, we see that the chord options have then been set
to Chord Resolution of 2 beats, no slash chords, walking bass, sus chords, 7
th
chords, and Jazz lead sheet.
These settings look OK for our Jazz song; if we wanted to customize it (for
example to allow slash chords) we could do it at this point.
So, to recap, using the Chord Wizard is a 3-step process.
1.
We loaded in the song “Violet Song.MID.”
2.
Pressing the preset button called “Jazz
Standard,” we then looked at the
Chord Options settings for the various channels and they looked OK so we
didn't make any changes. Then we looked at the Chord Options and they
looked OK so we didn't make any changes there.
3.
We then press the [INTERPRET
CHORDS NOW] button – this gets
the Chord Wizard to interpret the chords and write them to the chordsheet.
Once we've pressed the [INTERPRET CHORDS NOW] button, we can see the
results by looking at the chordsheet. Here are the chords that were interpreted,
Chord Wizard results – interpreting from “Violet Song.MID.”
