Maybe the OP don't play in split mode. In split mode, expert mode is all but not lazy, under the hood at least!

to play D chord with F# bass play notes F3 and D only. :wink:
-Expert mode
-Bass inversion off
F3 + D = Dm as expected, not D/F#
F#2 + D = D/F# :wink:
My bad, typing error, I fixed :)
For sure I did know it was a typo Sir! 8)

You are right, 'bass inversion' must be on.

PROBLEM SOLVED.
You can use in mode expert without turning ON BASS INVERSION.

-Expert mode
-Bass inversion off
F3 + D = Dm as expected, not D/F#
F#2 + D = D/F# :wink:
what's all this 'F#2 + D' ? calculus? it's either Dm, D major or D/F or D/F#

Dm notes are D,F,A
D major has F# instead of F natural

a chord inversion depends only on which note of the chord you put in the bass....it doesn't matter how you stack the rest of the chord above the bass.

BTW, Korg's terminology is wrong. In music theory there's no such thing as 'bass inversion'. It's called 'chord inversion'. I can't 'invert a bass', I can only invert a chord. A bass is a single note, AND the lowest one in a chord: impossible to 'invert' it. Even supposing it were possible, it would not be the bass anymore. So the term 'Bass inversion' makes no sense whatsoever. :)

If you take it out of context like that, then yes it's wrong. But in this case, Korg assumes that you already know you're dealing with a Chord and not a single note. If you take that into consideration, then it sounds just fine.
