Not sure if any current (or older) arrangers have this (maybe Ketron already has it?), but I'd to see a Breath Controller input...Yamaha (and some Kurzweil) synths have been using it for many years, and it is a great way to add expression to wind voices, and also to guitar sounds as well.
Maybe Ketron, being a smaller company, can readily add features like this.
And, I'm also for the Chord Sequencer that Scott (and Diki) mentioned already.

(New): I would like to propose improved 'cabinet dimensions' for arranger modules: Current modules are too boxy (Ketron Auda 4: 21"L x 13"W x 5"H), making it difficult to access 'on the fly' all the button functions from the keyboard playing position (with module situated directly behind the kb controller), because all the module's button/slider functions are so tightly crowded together within a very limited confined area. To solve that problem, I propose changing the dimensions of the module to something long and narrow, ei: 32"L x 7"W x 5"H. This would allow the arranger functions, sliders, and sound/style access buttons to be grouped, arranged & spread out 'across' the keyboard for far more convenient & reachably accessible' from the player's seated position, especially if the module is able to butt up directly behind & against the keyboard controller. A pop-up style tilt screen would further enhance the arranger module experience too.  Scott

Ian If I remember well, Diki has stated that "whoever brings back the chord sequencer, gets my money". [This message has been edited by trident (edited 12-07-2010).]
