Yup, that would be nice. Although the feature, as is, is great!

It's sort of OK as a feature, but without a Link to be able to load it either in the Performance (on a Roland) or in the Songbook (in a Korg), it isn't really QUITE as useful as it might appear.

And we REALLY need to be able to edit it in the sequencer or style edit sections. A simple 'quantize' at the very least, to correct for less than perfect timing, and a simple note and velocity editor (Roland's styles can respond to the velocity of the chord sequencer) are really needed.

But a set of 'exercise' CS's would be a killer practice regimen... cycle of 4ths exercises on II-V-I, I-VI-II-V, etc., for the jazzers, I-IV-V and I-VIm-IV-V for the pop players (!) would make for a handy set of instant gratification if included with the new arranger.

In fact, I'm not sure any arranger manufacturer has yet realized the potential this feature has. For instance, they might run into copyright issues including SMF's of copyrighted songs. But including ONLY the chords for them skirts the law. Why not have someone prepare the correct chords for the Music Assistant (Songbook in the Korg?) entries that come with the keyboard?

What a selling point for the less skilled buyer!
