Diki, I agree the chord sequencer is a must have feature..I also like to put down a chord progression, and get ideas for a tune by selecting different styles, tempos etc..as you mentioned , it gives us freedom that other boards can't match...

The neat thing also [as you know], when you find the perfect style and rehearsed what you want to do with the free hands, you can push the record button[on G1000] and record the entire song..all without stopping the project from the very beginning..We still have the freedom to select variations , fills..even intros again...and another great feature we can play different chord changes if we want ..they take preference over the chord sequencer progression, and will revert back to the chord sequence...It is a writers dream...

After you save the song[SMF], you can edit whatever you like with song tools...and re-save your finished tune..
