Hey, Diki, if being "tedious" will get you the chord sequencer, go for it, man.
I sent in several requests to Yamaha for it, and sent a few e-mail to the regional Roland rep, who I used to work with many moons ago when the E-70 was current...I believe the E-70 or one of the other E's at the time (perhaps the Pro-E) had a chord sequencer.
Hopefully, someone will recognize it's value and it will return in the near future.
