Let me add a short comment to this: fact is that the keyboard makes this possible and you may as well make use of it.
I sincerely don't believe it will improve your real playing, but that is up to you. Play like this before an audience? Why not! I use styles and the first thing my daughter said was: do the people who composed this (!) get paid when you perform?
OK, I still have to play the chords and melody and sometimes programm the multipads.
And if I would compose my own style, nobody would know I made it myself.
If I make a mistake (chord, note or otherwise) no audience will praise me for it. They come to hear music and I doubt if they care at all who makes the music (unless you have fans).
Anyway: I won't use the function we are talking about - I tried to, but I just can't because it confuses me. If I can't play it, I leave it or study long and hard.
