So no implementation of intervallic recognition?

The legato recognition is powerful, and the random and cyclical choices seem interesting, but in truth I was hoping for the intervallic rules more than the latter two...

I think it's one of the strength of the SA system. Make an octave jump, it plays one set of samples, play a third and you get another... That's how many acoustic instruments work. The further you go from the note you are on, the more disruption to the airflow, or the more the bowing/picking/fingering has to change, etc., and those sounds are utterly different from the sounds you make going to closer notes.

Oh well... Perhaps something for Korg to work on for a future upgrade.
