Hi Clif,

Right you are about my reasoning for asking (yet another time) about the chord recognition capabilities of the Solton X1 and other brands of arranger keyboards.

Unfortunately I didn't get much help from the music store because when I called them recently and asked if their "current" X1 model includes the upgraded ROM with the improved acoustic piano, the guy acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. I'm sure he knew less about Solton keyboard products than most of the Solton owners on this board

Thankfully we have George Kaye (Solton dealer) here and (hopefully) he will be able to provide us with updated info on the Solton X1's current ROM features. If for some reason the X1 still does not include 'rootless' chord recognition, perhaps George might be able to at least pass this request along to Solton so they might implement it in the next generation of Solton keyboard or in a X1 ROM upgrade. George, hope you are you listening
