Thanks Graham,

Like I keep say "Which is the better method of Single Fingered Chord placement etc" is of no interest to me (never has been).

To repeat my original post at the top of this thread "Does the Roland VA7 recognize single finger chording in the same manner the Technics and Yamaha keyboards do?

With reference Graham to your line that says "playing single fingered chords the Roland way...you are automatically part way to learning how to play fingered chords.

So the Roland way is better (Like I say "not interested if it's better or not") but it is different then Graham, from the other keyboard manufacturers. Can you just confirm it is different, as this is exactly what Roland UK and dealers I have spoken to have told me.

Thanks for your help Graham, do you know of the additional SFC mode (as mentioned by Burkels in this thread) which uses the more common method of SFC used by Yamaha, Korg Wersi Technics and Gem (just reminding all again I'm not interested in what method is best)

Kind regards

Peter
