Good Lord, anyone with two fingers and two eyes can press the two buttons together! My fingers are semi-arthritic and my eyes are brown because my brain is full of 68 years worth of accumulated doo-doo, and I can do it. It doesn't have to be timed to the milli-second; the sequencer kicks in, or out, at the end of the current measure. Don't buy the Korg for this reason alone, but "don't knock it if you haven't tried it!" Crap, I can hit control-alt-delete together still. Don't get me wrong, they COULD have made it easier.  It's harder sometimes to hit the shortcut button and, say Mic, to make on the fly adjustments, but I can usually do that too. And a good thing is that you can do real time adjustments and save them while a song or style is running. Most arrangers won't multitask like this. DonM I thought of something else. The buttons are side-by-side. It's the same as hitting the plus and minus buttons together to set the default tempo or transpose values. You can do it, if you concentrate! Err...I DID buy it and owned it!!! Thanks very much!! I took it back and went back to the PA2xpro.. Tell you what m8, you go and play a fast bebop tune, not the country yokel three chord wonders played at 120 bpm, and THEN try to get these buttons at the correct timing to get it to start recording correctly. You are OBVIOUSLY not a piano player!!! Or you only play auto chords using one finger!! Yes it COULD be a handy tool, but Korg have made the implementation clunky..... Dennis, I know you had one, and you are right, I am NOT a piano player and never was. I am an Arranger Keyboard Player. Before that I was an organ player, guitar player, bass player and trumpet player. But neither do I use one-finger chords. I use the pianist mode most of the time, where you hit at least three notes together to make the chords change. It takes about a second to reach up and hit the two buttons together. I have the chord HOLD mode on so I can take my fingers off the keys. In fact the only time I usually have my left hand fingers ON the keys is when I'm changing chords. At most other times they are on the joystick or pressing variation, fill, etc. buttons. Only about 10 percent of my usual show is Country these days. Not by my choice, but because of the preferences of the people who pay me every night! Each of us use arrangers in different ways. All I saying is that it is useful for me, and I would imagine, for others that play in the same style as I do. As I said, they could have made it easier to use, but I do find uses for it, especially if you could SAVE the sequences as you could with the old Rolands. Haven't tried it with a fast Bebop song though, I admit. However, once I did get a song way up to 160 bpm. Surely you didn't go back to the 2X Pro because it DIDN'T have a Chord Sequencer? I'm just poking fun now, don't get upset! Maybe I'm too irreverent for this serious old forum?? Still your friend, DonM
