Chordjam - Physical keyboard not mapping to Chords in Chordjam as I would expect

Help & Support
1

Hi there - first off I’m not a keyboard player but happy to dabble.

In Chordjam If I select (running from left to right at the top)

  • Key ‘C’
  • Scale Type ‘Major’
  • Chord Type ‘Major Scale’

… and press the keys one by one C, D, E, F, G , A, B
I get (what I would expect) Chordjam showing me the following chords…
Cmaj, Dmin, Emin, Fmaj, Gmaj, Amin and Bdim

If I now change the key to ‘D’ leaving Scale Type and Chord Type the same - and play
D - Chordjam shows Emin (Ableton’s midi monitor confirms this)
E - Chordjam shows F#min
etc
which is not what I was expecting - if I play a note on the keyboard for a D, I would expect Chordjam to show Dmaj with the selections made.

What can we do to fix this (within Chordjam) as it makes playing from keyboard - much used in the tutorial - somewhat limited and incorrect.

Got it! last thing on the tutorial - keyboard modes, relative or absolute - brilliant! Happy bunny.
