Yes, on the Technics KN7000, in full keyboard mode, I'm getting the chord recognition I want, whether playing it in the left hand, right hand, or combination of right & left hands. These include specific rootless piano comping voicings like:

left hand right hand : Chord
(Eb-A-D) (G-C) : F13

When I play this same voicing on the Yamaha keyboards in full keyboard mode I get: EbM7b5. This may be a theoretically correct chord analysis, but NO piano player I know of (jazz, classical, or otherwise) plays the above chord voicing to represent EbM7b5 in practice. On the other hand, the above voicing is used by blues & jazz players worldwide to represent an F13 chord. I honestly think that Yamaha needs to clean up its chord recognition in the 'full keyboard' mode dept while Technics needs to spruce their chord recognition up in 'split mode'. I think these two manufacters could really learn from EACH other. - Scott
