I never used the chords sequencer on the BK-9 before.  I recently tried  both the chord loop and the chords sequencer.

Chord loop is nice, you can create a chord loop on the fly, however with the chords sequencer I thought that you can create a chords sequence, save it and then use it with a different style if you wanted too, but what I noticed is that when you load the previously saved chords sequence it will select the style that it was created with, even if you have a different style selected. 

Is there a way to apply the chord sequence to different styles or there is no option for that?

While I did the chords sequence recording, if I changed the variations those will also be saved to the chords sequence file.

Therefore, each chords sequence is created and applied to only one style, the style that it was created with?

I'm curious how some of you are using this feature, and what's the benefit instead of recording the whole thing as an SMF, if the chords sequence cannot be applied to a different style?

I didn’t know that saved chord sequences load the style they’re saved with!

To be honest, because the saved CS can’t be Linked to a Performance, for live use it’s next to useless as a feature. It takes FAR too long to call up a Performance, then go navigate the folder structure to find the CS and load it, then start… your audience has lost interest by then!

Watching a player endlessly hitting buttons and scrolling like a madman between songs is NOT entertaining! That’s why I am mad at Roland about this. It’s a great feature IF one button calls up everything. They added a Link to the Audio Set, they added a link to the audio file or SMF in the Performance, but two features that would have transformed the BK9 got forgotten. One is a link to a saved CS, the other was a link to a saved .jpg, which could have given us a sheet music/lyrics display capability.

Sure, you can do it by hand, but it means well over a minute of downtime to load each up by hand. So close Roland, but yet so far!

Back to your problem, Dengizich, if you load a CS, then load up a Performance with a different style, does the new style play? If you start the new style first (say the intro) and then start the CS, does it change the style mid-song?

Lastly, look up in the manual for a parameter that might turn off the style saving and variation saving. I definitely remember a global setting on other Roland’s with CS’s (the G1000) that allowed you to defeat recording the style and variation links…

What I tried so far is to LOCK the Rhythm after I loaded a performance, but it still goes back to the original style, even with the rhythm lock ON. I'll try your suggestions Diki, thank you.
