Every Key Answers
Every page here speaks keyboard as a first language: two hands, real key maps, and synth voice budgets told straight — never guitar charts with the strings sanded off.
Free chord and scale references for seven keyboards, from the 88-key piano to the one-voice mono synth — every chart voiced inside the instrument’s true range, every voice budget applied honestly, with playback built in.
Choose Your Keyboard
Three keyboards that sound every key you hold — 88, 73, and 61 keys of full polyphony — and four synth architectures that ration voices on purpose: eight, four, four through one envelope, and one at a time.
Piano
- 88 keys, A0–C8
- Full polyphony — every held key sounds
- Velocity-sensitive across the range
Electric Piano
- 73 keys, E1–E7
- Full polyphony — no budget to fit
- Velocity-sensitive, tine-voiced playback
Organ
- 61 keys, C2–C7
- Ignores velocity — level lives in the stop
- Holds a chord as long as you do
8-Voice Polysynth
- 61 keys, C2–C7
- 8 voices — a two-hand chord fits whole
- Last-note voice allocation
4-Voice Polysynth
- 49 keys, C2–C6
- 4 voices — bigger chords get reduced
- Every chart reports what was dropped
Paraphonic Synth
- 49 keys, C2–C6
- 4 keys through one shared envelope
- The chord swells and fades as a block
Mono Synth
- 37 keys, C2–C5
- 1 voice — chords become arpeggios
- Last-note priority decides who sounds
What Lives Here
Chords
Every key and quality as real keyboard voicings — inversions, open spreads, shells, two hands — inside the instrument’s true range.
Scales
Patterns lit up on the keys themselves, roots pinned and degrees numbered, so the geography under your fingers stays visible.
Progressions
Each key’s chord family voice-led for two hands, so every change moves the fewest keys it can.

How It Works
Pick Your Keyboard
Seven instruments are modeled with their true key ranges and voice architectures — every reference page is drawn for the machine it names.
Read the Voicing
Charts light the actual keys: which hand takes what, which tones were kept, and — when the budget is small — exactly which tones the reducer dropped.
Hear the Budget
Playback runs the same arithmetic out loud: full polyphony rings, the paraphonic breathes as a block, and the mono synth rolls the chord low to high.
The Keys Family’s Deep Home
Keys Warrior is the Warrior Network’s home for everything with keys. The premise: the same chord is a different object on an 88-key piano, a 61-key organ, and a four-voice synth, and the difference is not taste — it is a number in a registry. So every chart on these pages is voiced inside the instrument’s true range, run through its real voice budget, and played back by an engine that respects both. When a chord asks for more voices than the machine has, the page says so and shows exactly which tones survive.

Want the same chord on guitar, banjo, or any of 20+ string instruments? Our sister site String Warrior compares them all — this site goes deep where that one goes wide.
The Questions Keyboard Players Ask
The full FAQ has the longer list.
- Are these piano charts recycled for the other keyboards?
- No. Each of the seven keyboards is modeled with its own key range and voice architecture, and every chart is voiced for the machine it appears on — a chord that fits an 88-key piano gets re-voiced, or honestly reduced, before it is drawn on a 49-key synth.
- What happens when a chord holds more notes than a synth has voices?
- The reduction engine trims it the way players do: doubled tones go first, then an unaltered fifth, then the root — never a tone the chord’s name depends on — and the chart prints exactly what was kept and what was dropped.
- Can I hear the voicings, or just read them?
- Every chart plays back in your browser through honest synthesis: full polyphony on the pianos and organ, a shared envelope on the paraphonic, and a rolled arpeggio on the mono synth — no samples, no sign-up.
- Why does the mono synth get chord pages at all?
- Because mono players still play harmony — one note at a time. Its pages chart each chord as an ordered arpeggio, low to high, which is the honest answer a one-voice instrument can give.
- Does any of this cost money?
- No. Every chart, guide, and tool on Keys Warrior is free with no ads and no account — your theme preference lives in your own browser.
