In order to play extended chords properly, or be able to fluently change chords between bars (upbeat - true for any Ketron Arranger), it's advisable to have the CHORD MODE for all chords (or those which might not sound right when triggered instantly ...) set to NORMAL and not RETRIGGER (as was clearly the case for the AUDIO chord/5 in the above demonstration). When set to RETRIGGER, the chords are played instantly when you change and this can be nice for sounds like STRINGS but horrible for GUITARS .. and especially for the AUDIO parts. When set to NORMAL, the chords are quickly 'analized' and set by the arranger before they are played - usually quantized to the next 16th beat note.
Demos of AUDYA with chord extensions will be uploaded later today demonstrating how AUDYA changes and sounds with extended chord changes (both with ONLY auto accompanyment and with Auto Accompanyment plus a lead Nylon Guitar played to the right of the SPLIT point)... just to give you an example ... .
Accompanying notes/text will explain each video (as has been the case before) so please read the text to understand what was done or what's going on (when time permits).

Thanks,

PS: When watching these videos on Youtube, please click on the "Watch in HIGH Quality" for better video and sound ... it makes a difference (videos were recorded in HD and then down-converted!!
