I agree, wholeheartedly, Scott.
It would be nice to see the return of the chord sequencer, but I believe it would take a far greater number of requests than seen on this forum for a manufacturer to take notice and add such a feature.
It is not something I would use very often, and it's inclusion on a Roland arranger would hardly be enough to overcome the other shortcomings that have made me feel my choice of Yamaha was the right one for me.
