This is pretty basic stuff. The question is; how do arranger styles respond to more advanced chord voicings? Does the bass pattern change? Does the pattern itself change....each variation? Is it a predictable change? Playing an 'exotic' chord on an arranger may not produce the same effect/feeling/emotion as playing the same chord on piano (or organ or guitar, for instance). It would depend on how the chord was interpreted and used to produce a particular pattern. Of course, one could attempt to create the desired effect by playing the more sophisticated chord with the right hand on top of the more basic pattern produced by the left hand. A skilled arranger player could certainly utilize the techniques in this video to make his arrangement(s) sound more 'professional'. I pose these questions only because I don't know the answers. My last arranger was (is) the PA1x Pro and I'm sure the AI driving chord recognition/interpretation/implementation has been greatly enhanced since that time.

Hi Chas,
Supposedly arrangers can play the more complex chords according to the data in the manuals.
One good thing with korgs at least, if one really needed the keyboard to play complex chords and have a different bass or piano pattern depending on the type of chord played, a style can be recorded or edited to do it.
You can have up to 6 cv’s ie one pattern would play if you play major chords , another one for minor chords, a different one again for diminished chords another one for augmented chords etc up to 6.
Don’t think I ever came across a style that used all 6 cv’s , but can be done.
