I haven't experienced any delay problems with chord recognition in 'fingered' mode.

I generally use the same type of 'keyboard comping' techniques used in non-arranger keyboard playing which include a combo of rhythmic playing and held chords along with some short fills played by the left hand. The advantage of 'fingered' mode vs 'A1 fingered' mode playing is that it allows you to play left voice fills playing 2 notes simultaneously instead of just single note fills with 'A1 fingered'.

On Technics arranger keyboards, I find full keyboard mode much better implemented. On Yamaha arrangers, the chord recognition in full keyboard mode, jumps inappropriately (creating unmusical resuslts) when you change the melody notes (which are within an octave of the left hand chords) in the right hand. I find 'fingered' mode on Yamaha arrangers much better implemented than 'full keyboard' as it allows you to play the same professional type 'two hand' piano comping patterns used when playing an acoustic piano with a real live band: the left hand playing the core chord voicing to establish the desired chord recognition by the arranger (typically including the 3rd and 7th, and root, or perhaps an extension: 13th or 9th, with the right hand chord notes providing the other upper structure chord tones which might include altered tensions: b9, #11, etc. This Split 'fingered' mode provides more right hand note freedom to include chord tone alterations which will not unintentially change the arrangers chord recognition by mistake.

Jill: Looking forward to hearing your music on the PSR2100
