There are certain chords I’m unable to get the Chord track to play. For example, Cmin7b13. I can enter the chord and it displays as such, but the voicing that it generates leaves out the b13. I’ve tried the different options for “Voicings” in the inspector (if I select “altered jazz” or “jazz five sounds” it actually adds other tensions that I didn’t specify like the 9th).
Am I missing something?
@philkaye. The interpretation of chord symbols in the Chord track is sometimes questionable. The choice of a chord usually depends on the overall harmonic context depending on the key or modulations that may occur. The chord Cmin7b13 could just as well be an AbMAJ9 chord (which implies here the presence of a major 7th). If you insist on the C bass, it could be AbMAJ9/C (C-Eb-G-Ab-Bb). That said, the harmonic context is important and the interpreter of the chord track is very deficient in this regard. It can do an adequate job for simple things but nothing more.
