Root
A root note establishes the pitch tonality of a chord or scale and is the
lowest / first note in the group. Chords are typically named after the root, for
example C Major has a C root note, G Major has a G root note. The root
note therefore defines the key of a chord and is the note on which a scale is
built. The root note for a scale can be changed in T-1. This changes only
the scale root and does not transpose any existing chords or notes.
