Is there any way to show what the chord progressions are for the Intro 1 ?
Thank you.

In Style Record you can hear the recorded musical patterns of a stye, also of Intro1.
To listen to a track in solo keep the SHIFT button pressed and touch that track - maybe Acc1 or any other - and start/stop to hear that track as recorded.

To see that events is possible in menue "EventEdit" of Style Record, but however, the chord progression is not always directly readable.

This applies in particular to the chord variations for Intro1/Ending1 of Korg's factory styles with arranged melodies and harmonies. As is known these are often programmed in GUITAR MODE and therefore the tracks contains control data for strumming, arpeggios, individual strings, etc. The chord progression in guitar mode is not the key/chord parameter, but is a note event in the octave range C-1 .. B-1, which is inserted just before the control event (octave range C1 ... B2).

The first parameter (MIDI note number) of such a note event is the chord root and the second parameter (velocity 1 .. 24) is the chord type (major, minor, seventh etc.). These note events for chord progressions are inserted/edited manually using Edit and Insert a few ticks before the control event (e.g. strumming). To do that with software may be easier with software than with the instruments keyboard.

Velocity (1 ... 127) of the control event is therefore the volume of the chord progression, and velocity of the chord progression in note event (1 .. 24) is its chord type (but not volume).

MIDI note number of control events is the type of strumming (C1 ... B2 = Full down, full up etc) and with C2 ... B2 it is selection of single strings, power chords, arpeggios etc.

Description above applies to the Guitar Mode of Intro1/Ending1, whose CVs are programmed for arranged melodies and harmonies in major and minor and must be the same length in the element.
Settings Key/Chord CV1 = C Major, CV2 = C m; NTT = parallel, no transpose; StyleTrack/Trigger/Tenison Acc1 = Gtr/Rp/no, Acc2= Gtr/Rp/yes;

The Intro2/Ending2 elements of Korg's Factory Styles should be freely playable and only programmed in C major so that the user can play and play harmonies themselves (for automatical chord recognition).
Settings Key/Chord CV1 = C Major; NTT = parallel, fifth; StyleTrack/Trigger/Tenison Acc1 = Gtr/Rp/no, Acc2= Gtr/Rp/yes;

Unfortunately, I have embarrassed myself terribly with an earlier postings on the subject of guitar mode, so that user Simke answered me: if you don't know the answer to my question it's wiser not to answer than to use underestimation!
I apologize for this of my pointless postings in the above thread and hope this won't happen again with my today's posting.

How many ticks a note event (chord progression) must be before a control event may vary for certain strumming types, because user Nemik determined during a check with the Pa600 that a control event strumming Full Down Slow (F1 , velocity ?) needs to be 40 ticks after chord progression, or for Full Up Slow at least 30 ticks after. ---> http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB3/ ... 20#p800620

With a Pa1000 (OS version 1.5.0, Serial Number > 40000, incl HDMI) I was unable to determine this during a test with intros/endings in factory styles OrchestralBld1, Unplugged (Acc1-3), Unplugged Gtr1 (Acc2-4).

I noticed that there are often quite a lot of ticks (240 and more) between note events of the chord progressions and subsequent control events (strummings) and sometimes fewer than 10 ticks are entered in the tracks. Therefore, I suspect that such a control event does indeed require the preceding information for the chord progression, but do not need a large number of ticks in between.
