Yes, this is GREAT to have so much cooperation from Sandro at Ketron/Solton as well as others here (especially Roel & Henry for testing) to get this rootless voicing thing implemented. I really think these newly added keyboard voicings are important and will bring the SD1 up to the level of Yamaha & Technics in the chord recognition dept. When this happens, I think that Yamaha & Technics will have some catching up to do with Solton in other areas.

To keep everyone informed and up to speed, I have sent the following list to Sandro which includes the rest (to include all 12 keys now) of the chord voicings and associated chord names.

Henry: I noticed in your email to Sandro that you notated all the chord names with accidentals as sharps (#s's). Though your chords are enharmonically correct , I prefer that some of them be notated as flats ((b's) (such as Bb13 instead of A#13).I have listed (below) my preferred (more commonly recognized) chord names as well. Thanks again to all for your support & assistance.

Here is the updated listing I sent to Sandro:
