'why did they skimp on the guitar chords?'

Ketron provide one per Variation, a FAR more musical approach to the task.



That's a lot of money for an instrument with "preset rhythms" especially since they are it's biggest feature...but, it's your money.

I would not buy an instrument I couldn't customize to my own preferences, and if I was more into doing dance music, the rhythm section would have to be more than just preset.

"Technology not catching up on their vision" is really no reason to release an instrument with an audio guitar in the accompaniment (a selling feature, no less) that won't play complex chords without having to add midi notes.

Like I said, it appears they ran out of development dollars and were forced into releasing it the way it was.

Hopefully, they can develop this drawback with OS upgrades...but, somehow, I don't think it will ever be corrected.
