Playing D7 accord cancels the accompaniment, what to do

[MarcelM]

Hello, when I play the D7 accord left hand, it cancels all the instrument except the drum, wen release or play another accord all comes back to normal,
What should I do to cancel that feature.

Thanks for your help.

hi MarcelM,

just don't hit 3 keys that are next to each other at the same time
(2 white keys and 1 black or 2 black keys and 1 white)
for example C C# D or F# G G# or A A# B etc

This kind of combinations cancels all parts of the style except from drums.
Of course this should not happen when playing any kind of chords, like D7.

You need to play a 4-note chord.

Cheers,

Hi Marcel
What keyboard are you using and what "fingering type" have you selected? You can find out the fingering by Hitting Direct access/ACMP.

How are you fingering your D7 chord. Root position would be D F#A C

A bit of a guess, but a reasonable one!

If you are playing D7 in the conventional, or usual, position for keyboard playing it will be F# A C D or F# C D (you can miss out the A). I wonder if when you play some of these notes, particularly the C and D at the top of the chord, if you are not accidentally playing the C# as well. This could well give you a Cancel chord.

Not sure what will happen if you played the Ab or Bb next to the A in the chord if you're playing it, perhaps the same thing. Some people find it hard to play that A without hitting one or both keys on either side, so they miss it out.
