Chord sequencer should work as such (from my understanding)... pretty much replacing your LEFT hand when in Arranger mode and playing a style.

METHOD-1. You can pre-determine what chords and the length/bars each chord should play for. Once you have the entire sequence, select a style and activate the chord sequencer. The style plays and changes chords automatically based on your new chord table. You can apply the sequence to any style...

* Enter chord sequencer menu.
* Enter table as such:-

CHORDS - BAR LENGTH
-> C - 4 bars
-> Bb - 2 bars
-> F - 2 bars
-> C - 4 bars
-> LOOP - 2 TIME(S)
-> Am - 8 bars
-> G - 4 bars
-> G7 - 4 bars
-> LOOP - 2 TIME(S)
-> END2 - 1 TIME(S)

In the example above (written as a psudeocode), when you activate the CHORD Seq., select a style and press START, the style starts to play and automatically follows the chord sequence you put in (no need to play the left hand). When it gets to the LOOP point, it repeats the entire sequence above the LOOP point - twice. When it gets to the end, it plays the ENDING 1 once. As it goes through the sequence, you can press ARR A, B, C or D or fills and they all play through the chord sequence. Screen shows point of sequence as it executes it. You can scroll back to any point of the sequence and press ENTER and at the next bar, the keyboard goes right back to that point (manual over-ride of sequence) and continues the sequence control from there.

METHOD-2. You play the chord sequence into a 'blank midifile', i.e you enter into record mode (as though you want to record a performance as a midifile). You play through the entire sequence (as you would on a gig) and press SAVE at the end to save the new midifile (a proprietory file which only records your chord changes). Now you select this special midifile (KRX) and select a style you want to associate it with and press START. The midifile plays but since the file is 'empty - no tracks' all that plays back is your chord sequences which now trigger and control the selected style. You can change from style to style but the arranger keeps playing.

Hopefully, this is sort of what Dikki was refering to. METHOD-2 I believe is what was adopted in this release.

Thanks,

AJ..not exactly..Roland's on the G1000..you do not have to set up or type chords before hand....Pick any style..activate the chord sequencer...and play normally ..when you are ready to loop the play back..push the proper chord seq button, and it will continue the chord seq..You can change patterns(as in other styles) or variations..fills intros ..anything while the chord progression continues...you can pause the chord seq, and play again anything different..with or without recording the seq again....Chord sequences can be saved for future reloads...but the fun and power of the Roland chord seq..is the ability to use at random and on the fly..

countdown is now at 18

AJ

i wanna know more,
i wanna see :-(

and the countdown is at 16...in case anyone cares
