Q I have started using Magix Music Maker 14 and would like to record some tunes of my own to play alongside the samples in the software.
Is there any way to find out the chord of the samples to help compose the tunes?

A When there are numbered samples listed together, they are the same sample but as different chords.
Apart from the Movie Score, Dance Electro and Techno Trance samples, the numbers refer to the same chord.
Sample1 = C
Sample2 = d
Sample3 = e
Sample4 = F
Sample5 = G
Sample6 = a
Sample7 = B
Capital letters refer to major chords and lower case refer to minor chords.
