I agree on the thumb twiddling bit...it looks rather bad, but it serves a purpose...to show off the fancy sounds and to sell the product
I reprogram my intros so that I can play chords and add my own melody over them..I'm sure others here do so as well.
Roland has the best idea, giving you a choice.
Sure would be nice if the chords were shown...I think Michael Bedesem had a method to show them in a midi.
