Nicely done Ian.

I am one of those who is seriously considering this board as my next arranger purchase. If I'm reading this right, and using OTS causes me to lose the chord fingering settings, than this will be a big deal to me, enough that I would likely decide against the G70 entirely.... but only if the intelligent arranger mode is not my preferred mode in the first place. I understand the single finger part, but that doesn't bother me, so long as it also recognizes three and four fingered chords in intelligent mode along with playing two notes of a chord root and minor third for minor chord, root and 7th note for 7th chord, etc. This is similar to one of the fingering modes in my PA80 and is exactly how I have it set up. What I don't like is strict single finger mode where you play the root and the next key up or down for a minor, next two keys up and down for a 7th..etc. That I won't use.

That's the kind of information that really DOES help here at the forum, as opposed to some of the other stuff ..... Now I can see for myself how this ( which is something I probably wouldn't have thought to look for ) will affect me before I make a final decision on what to purchase. Thanks for sharing it.

AJ
