John, many thanks for taking the time to post the Bk7m's chord recognition for my above chord voicings.
I'm disappointed that after all these years ( over ten since I've pushed for this) that Roland still hasn't come on board with it yet because II -V7 - I is the most common chord progression seen in all jazz standards, often appearin many times throughout a song ( ie Satin Doll), so the ability to play this progression with the minimum of jumping around the keyboard (known as smooth voice leading) is essential, esp on slower tunes and in a typical small jazz combo setting where the live keyboard player typically avoids playing the chord's root note when comping, leaving that to the bass player, or on an arranger, the auto-accomp bass part. Only playing in this manner on an arranger keyboard will you be able to emulate and produce the unique open piano comping sound of trio jazz like Diana Krall, Jamie Cullum, and Peter Cincotti.
John, I'm hoping the power of your music store influence might help convince Roland to finally add or augment the above rootless jazz chords to their chord recognition table. Please talk to your Roland contacts and let me know what they say. The BK7m looks like it would be a great unit for me otherwise. Thanks.
