Because that is not how I use it Dave.

I have plenty of sequence files, which with markers are fine for pop, rock, country et al

But for my jazz stuff, I like to have the chords for the main head recorded so I can drop back into it anytime and do solos.

A lot of the time I can get away with full piano mode (which is my preferred chord entry method), but there are just too many tunes that do not fit well with this method, hence the need to save the recorded CS (again ONLY the head, or a selected chord progression specifically for soloing over).

I am not talking about a CS for whole songs. I agree, that would be pointless as a smf can cater quite well for that.

PS: and I do make all my own smf backings and MP3 backings too, not on the Korg, but on the DAW...
