Welcome to the chord identification challenge! In this advanced exercise, you will hear the root of the chord with a series of chord tones stacked on top. Which chord tones are present is up to you. However, your job is to identify the quality of those chord tones. For example, you can control whether a chord has a seventh or not, but you can't control whether that seventh will be major, minor, or diminished.

You can control whether the chord tones are arpeggiated or played all at the same time using the 'delay between tones' setting. You can furthermore change the tone and color of the sound to your liking.

By default, there will be some restrictions on the quality of chord tones you will hear. The default mode is diatonic mode, in which you will only hear chord tones that all fit into one of the seven diatonic modes. Therefore, there will be no augmented fifths or sharp nines. However, you can change this by selecting another mode.

Jazz mode is an expansion upon the diatonic modes, in which the chord tones may belong to any diatonic mode OR any mode of harmonic minor OR any mode of melodic minor. Therefore, there will be many opportunities to hear diminished and augmented chord tones, but you will likely not hear both in the same chord.

Finally, you can select 'none' if you want there to be truly no rules. You will hear diminished and augmented tones in the same chord. Chord tones will overlap, and you may not be sure which chord tone you are hearing. You'll just have to guess.
