Just a thought, but has Ketron made any effort to provide copy protection for third party user created content? It strikes me that yes, it might be worth it for someone to take on the expense of creating far more comprehensive guitar chord choices if they can be guaranteed that they won’t be traded around for free after one person buys the style.

But if they can be pirated, it won’t be worth the bother.

I think we would all benefit from a huge spike in third party content if the talented people who do it have an easy way to make sure they get paid for their work. Sadly, the almost complete collapse of the third party style industry (couple of decades ago there was a much better selection of styles from third party vendors than today) is mostly the result of easy piracy. It’s only worth the effort if you can be guaranteed each sale is to one person alone.

Yamaha’s system works quite well (I think we have a member here that helps make some of their Latin styles), so it apparently can be done. I think Korg’s new PA5X also has significantly improved their copy protection system.

Do Ketron have something like those?

I can see the potential for third party vendors stepping in to improve the barebones chord choices if they do…
