i just entered a French Canadian Tune called Reel de Pointe au Pic it contains F sharp diminished and A diminished. I can’t figure out how to input those chords, (when I hit D it changes my chord to D)
nor do i know a work around (like what chord would sound better (for sure F# does NOT sound right there.)
can anyone help? thanks
Two ways to make a diminished chord:
-
Open the Chords menu at the bottom-left corner of the editing screen, click “see more types” (if you haven’t before), then select “dim”.
-
Press the letter “O” key, which is used because the symbol for diminished chords is a little superscript “o”.
Note also that all diminished chords in Strum Machine are played as dim7 chords (1-b3-b5-6), not just a diminished triad (1-b3-b5). This mirrors most real-world usage of the diminished chord. For a half-diminished chord (1-b3-b5-b7), use the slashed-O symbol or press your “zero” key.
