I've tried at the Danish G-70 User Group to bring this to the attention of Roland Europe. All the Recorder section needs is an auto loop function and the Chord sequencer (or near-abouts, anyway) could return.

You're right, by the way, the only people who missed the Chord sequencer were people who learned how to use it. The rest of our user base don't know what they missed out on! One more ringing indictment of how few really learn their instrument's capabilities.
