Symbols and Constants

This appendix is a reference to the chords that MMA recognizes and name/value tables for drum and instrument names. The tables have been auto-generated by MMA using the -D options.

Chord Names

MMA recognizes standard chord names as listed below. The names are case sensitive and must be entered in uppercase letters as shown:

A A$\sharp$ A$\flat$ B B$\sharp$ B$\flat$ C C$\sharp$ C$\flat$ D D$\sharp$ D$\flat$ E E$\sharp$ E$\flat$ F F$\sharp$ F$\flat$ G G$\sharp$ G$\flat$

Please note that in your input files you must use a lowercase ``b'' or an ``&'' to represent a $\flat$ and a ``#'' for a $\sharp$.

All ``7th'' chords are ``dominant 7th'' unless specifically noted as ``major''. A dominant 7th has a flattened 7th note (in a C7 chord this is a b$\flat$; a C Major 7th chord has a b$\natural$).

For a more detailed listing of the chords, notes and scales you should download the document www.mellowood.ca/mma/chords.pdf.gz.

In modern pop charts the ``M'' in a major 7th chord (and other major chords) is often represented by a ``$\Delta$''. When entering these chords, just replace the ``$\Delta$'' with an ``M''. For example, change ``G$\Delta$7'' to ``GM7''.

A chord name without a type is interpreted as a major chord (or triad). For example, the chord ``C'' is identical to ``CM''.

MMA has an large set of defined chords. However, you can add your own with the DEFCHORD command, details here.

Octave Adjustment

Depending on the key and chord sequence, a chord may end up in the wrong octave. This is caused by MMA 's internal routines which create a chord: all of the tables are maintained for a ``C'' chord and the others are derived from that point by subtracting or adding a constant. To compensate you can add a leading ``-'' or ``+'' to the chordname to force the movement of that chord and scale up or down an octave.

For example, the following line will move the chord up and down for the third and fourth beats:

Cm Fm -Gm +D7

The effect of octave shifting is also highly dependent on the voicing options in effect for the track.

You'll have to listen to the MMA output to determine when and where to use this adjustment. Hopefully, it won't be needed all that much.

If you have a large number of chords to adjust, use the CHORDADJUST command , here.

Altered Chords

According to Standardized Chord Symbol Notation altered chords should be written in the form Cmi $^{7}(^{\flat{}9}_{\sharp{}5})$. However, this is pretty hard to type (and parse). So, we've used the convention that the altered intervals should be written in numerical order: Cm$\sharp$5$\flat$9. Also, note that we use ``m'' for ``minor'' which appears to be more the conventional method than ``mi''.

Diminished Chords

In most pop and jazz charts it is assumed that a diminished chord is always a diminished 7th ...a diminished triad is never played. MMA continues this, sometimes erroneous assumption.^A.1You can change the behavior in several ways: change the chord notes and scale for a ``dim'' from a dim7 to a triad by following the instructions here; use the slightly oddball notation of ``m$\flat$5'' which generates a ``diminished triad''; or use the more-oddball notation ``dim3''.

Notational notes: In printed music a ``diminished'' chord is sometimes represented with a small circle symbol (eg. ``FO'') and a ``half-diminished'' as a small slashed circle (e.g., ``CØ'').

A half-diminished chord in MMA is specified with the notation ``m7$\flat$5''.

Slash Chords

Charts sometimes use slash chords in the form ``Am/E''. This notation is used, mainly, to indicate chord inversions. For example, the chord notes in ``Am/E'' become ``E'', ``A'' and ``C'' with the ``E'' taking the root position. MMA will accept chords of this type. However, you may not notice any difference in the generated tracks due to the inversions used by the current pattern.

You may also encounter slash chords where the slash-part of the chord is not a note in the chord. Consider the ambiguous notation ``Dm/C''. The composer (or copyist) might mean to add a ``C'' bass note to a ``Dm'' chord, or she might mean ``Dm7'', or even an inverted ``Dm7''. MMA will handle these ...almost perfectly. When the ``slash'' part of the chord indicates a note which is not a note in the chord, MMA assumes that the indicated note should be used in the bass line. Since each chord generated by MMA also has a ``scale'' associated with it for use by bass and scale patterns this works. For example, a C Major chord will have the scale ``c, d, e, f, g, a, b''; a C Minor chord has the same scale, but with an e$\flat$. If the slash note is contained in the scale, the scale will be rotated so that the note becomes the ``root'' note.

A warning message will be printed if the note is not in both the chord and the scale.

Another notation you may see is something like ``Dm/9''. Again, the meaning is not clear. It probably means a ``Dm9'', or ``Dm9/E'' ... but since MMA isn't sure this notation will generate an error.

Please note that for fairly obvious reasons you cannot have both slash notation and an inversion (see the next section).

For more details on ``slash chords'' your favorite music theory book or teacher is highly recommended!

Chord Inversions

Instead of using a slash chord you can specify an inversion to use with a chord. The notation is simply an ``>'' and a number between -5 and 5 immediately following the chord name.

The chord will be ``rotated'' as specified by the value after the ``>''.

For example, the chord ``C>2'' will generate the notes G, C and E; ``F>-1'' gives C, F and A.

There is an important difference between this option and a slash chord: in inversions neither the root note nor the associated scale are modified.

MIDI Voices

When setting a voice for a track (i.e. Bass Voice NN), you can specify the patch to use with a symbolic constant. Any combination of upper and lower case is permitted. The following are the names with the equivalent voice numbers:

Drum Notes

When defining a drum tone, you can specify the patch to use with a symbolic constant. Any combination of upper and lower case is permitted. In addition to the drum tone name and the MIDI value, the equivalent ``name'' in $^{superscript}$ is included. The ``names'' may help you find the tones on your keyboard.

MIDI Controllers

When specifying a MIDI Controller in a MIDISEQ or MIDIVOICE command you can use the absolute value in (either as a decimal number or in hexadecimal by prefixing the value with a ``0x''), or the symbolic name in the following tables. The tables have been extracted from information at http://www.midi.org/about-midi/table3.shtml. Note that all the values in these tables are in hexadecimal notation.

Complete reference for this is not a part of MMA . Please refer to a detailed text on MIDI or the manual for your synthesizer.
