I have sent numerous emails also to Yamaha upon deaf ears...who knows maybe TYROS 9 will have a few of these improvements?

Well, Donny, all we can do is ask...meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy the instrument for what it is, not what I would wish it to be.

The latter is a waste of precious time.

Donny, I kinda of recall the PA3X's chord sequencer being demonstated in one of those Namm(?) videos.
Either way, I'm anxious for Korg to showcase this feature in one of their upcoming official PA3X videos,
as imo, it's the 'most appealing' improvement of this model.

Yeah Ian , and I suppose I could live without your live fresh flown in from 'Prince Edward Island' mussels too, but now that I've had them,
I gotta keep havin' them (steamed in white wine, garlic, shallots, spinach and pastis. Delicious!
I suspect having an 'on the fly' while performing auto accompaniment 'Chord Sequencer' feature will have the same effect.

Ah, Scott, that looks so good. Many a night on PEI, we were digging in to "a feed" of mussells.

It's hard to imagine, but lobster was actually food that was eaten by the poorer population...it was not considered the delicacy it is today.

Many were tossed back when they got caught up in the trawler nets, or taken home and eaten by the fisherman's family.

Now, it one of the most expensive seafoods.

I have a few "feeds" of lobster every season...I like it cooked (boiled), shelled, and then sauteed in butter until a tiny bit crispy. YUM!

Watch out for the GOUT with all the shell fish

Good point Donny. Thankfully I can only afford to eat these shellfish treats occasionally anyway.

I just got over 4 weeks of Gout Flareups in both feet, been on major meds to control Uric Acid in the body...it ain't no picnic, OUCH!!! was using crutches at one point....watch what you eat my friends !

I don't think a loop function would be "cheating" anymore than using styles, canned intro/endings, SMF, MP3/audio backing tracks...

For me it would be great- I could do two hand montunos or any type of chord voicings I wanted to. It would free me up so much. I'm really liking the idea. Maybe a Korg is in my future?

Yes, darn good point, Donny.

I eat shellfish very moderately...in fact, I eat everything in moderation. My weakness is the occasional big bowl of sliced strawberries and have them covered with Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk...especially nice in the summer months.

Gout, from what I understand, is very painful.

The PA3X's 'chord sequencer' feature alone is one reason I'm still keeping a close eye on the possibility of auditioning one myself soon.
And NO, the purpose for the chord sequencer is not for cheating at all, but on the contrary,
giving us the ability to actually play left & right hand traditional keyboard comping patterns LIVE.
