Hi Ogre,
I've not had a chance until today to take a look at your dilemma. Like you, I have a discord when playing a Cadd9 chord using the notes C,D,E, and G in APC mode while using the "Block" selection of Technichord. And I can't give you a specific reason why.
I suspect it is as Alec has said, each manufacturer programs the APC mode differently in terms of chord recognition accuracy and while the APC mode is naming the notes C,D,E, and G on the screen as a Cadd9 chord, the technichord feature does not recognize it as such, therefore it harmonizes the Cadd9 incorrectly. It is not a fault in the instrument, but rather a direct result of software programming. Perhaps memory limitations dictated the result. I'm sure manufacturers could program the APC mode to recognize all chords and have Technichord harmonize them correctly if they had enough memory to work with.
I may be wrong in my judgement of this problem. Wouldn't be the first time, nor the last. Maybe one day manufacturers will give us a board that plays all the chords perfectly regardless of the mode we use.
Chuck

Hi Peter, Yep! keeping in the pink - thanks for asking. There were lots of stories explaining the George Shearing piano technique. One of the stories suggested that because of his blindness, he always played with his thumbs locked together, thereby producing 'thick' chords. I find it hard to give any credit to this theory. He frequently plays some quite dazzling 'free running' right hand work, which many a sighted player would envy. A good example of this, is the live recording of September in the rain, made in about 1959 during the so called 'Capitol Years'. I would suggest that when you hear good 'thick' chords in his playing, that they are produced with both hands, rather than all five fingers in the right hand. Of course, he doesn't have Technichord ------------------ Willum
