Diki,

Thanks for your response. I would say it's about 80% complete. Why the delay? We figured we could kill 2 birds with 1 stone by implementing this feature 2 ways:-

One - LIVE MODE: Press button(s) to record chords played either on left or in Pianist mode (full keyboard), press button(s) to have arranger instantly play back that chord sequence at the start of the next measure (plus allow you to change styles and maintain chord progression too) as you play AND .... be able to save the progression for future use!

TWO - Pattern/Style Create mode: Allowing users to make their own RIFF (via entering chord sequences while editing/creating a style which saves a lot of programming work while in the Style/Pattern Creator/Editor).

I'll definately keep you posted on progress after the show as it's rather busy down here. The Arranger market in EU is so much different - how to bring this "love of Arrangers" to the US (any iadea you may have?)

George,
Thanks for chiming in with your recommendations. This seems to be a quick solution indeed. Do you know if these Zoom features exist on any Consumer HD Video recorder (I see for an example the Zoom is missing the Optical ... ZOOM!)

Thanks ... and anyone else with info is certainly welcomed to add. Now let's go check out some German 'soda'.
