Minor 7th flat fives are very common in music, as are several other chords marked with the asterisk.
If you play relatively simple chords, and stay away from the more complex (and, unfortunately, interesting ones) the Audya plays only audio guitars...and sounds right.
Well, I believe this had been already worked out on that old thread that Spalding found.
Can't imagine looking through my music, and deleting those tunes with m7b5 and other chords that add to a songs interest...of course, there are those who either can't play complex chords, or just don't use them in their music because perhaps the genre only uses relatively simple chords.
That's your Audya customer I suppose....it doesn't appear to be geared for Jazz or Latin....might work well with most Rock, Rock and Roll and Country...that's probably why DonM likes it so much.

PS...will OS4 add more audio chords?
PSS...I also play guitar and bass.
PSSS...Yamaha's Tyros3 and PSR-S910 have a new GTT style mode that emulates exactly the way a guitar player voices the chords, and it does it seamlessly with mega-voices.
It's subtle, but very effective....exposed guitar parts are homogeneous AND correct. This is not a "mine is better than yours", but only to indicate that style technology advances very quickly.
