What Is One-Touch Chord Rhythm Mode?

One-Touch Chord Rhythm Mode is a built-in feature on Fingersonic Keys that lets you trigger full major scale chord progressions (1 to 7) with just one finger. Once activated, Fingersonic Keys automatically plays the chord rhythm for you — all chords follow your current transpose and octave settings.

How to Activate One-Touch Chord Rhythm Mode

Follow these steps to enter the mode:

  1. Hold down the 5th key from the left on Fingersonic Keys
  2. Quickly press the left knob 5 times

You'll know it's activated when the chords start responding to the upper-row keys.

Playing Chord Progressions

Once activated, press the 7 keys from C# to Eb on the upper row to trigger major scale chords from 1 to 7. Fingersonic Keys will automatically play the chord rhythm, and the chords will follow your current transpose and octave settings.

 

Adjusting Rhythm and Tempo

  • F# (8th key) — Switch between different rhythm patterns
  • Ab (9th key) — Slow down the rhythm tempo. Press multiple times to keep slowing down
  • Bb (10th key) — Speed up the rhythm tempo. Press multiple times to keep speeding up

How to Exit
