Nice... sort of Ableton Live on an arranger..!

I think there's one small problem. Let's say you've got a couple of hundred songs to choose from (live) with up to 22 Marker points in each 😱. Maybe you can do better, but I honestly doubt I'd be able to remember what each of them did..! Even if it were only 5 or 6 Markers.

It would be fantastic if the screen layout gave more room for the buttons, and you could LABEL THEM... Verse 1, Pre-chorus, Break, 2nd Verse, Solo, Solo2 etc..

Most of the computer apps that do this let you label your sections. Even the iPad app I use (StageTraxx4) allows this. I honestly think for this to become a practical tool for a gigging musician, it's going to need this.

It's a great way to perform, it definitely helps live when you want to jam, or your dancers get on the floor late (or leave early!) or friends sit in, but without labels for the segments, it's a minefield of potential disasters!

Hopefully you can pass this on to Ketron and see what they can do.

I tried to do this on my BK9 using the Key Audio function, but sadly it didn't read the tracks off the USB stick fast enough to not get a very slight hiccup between sectors. If that Ketron's reading direct from the HD, it's FAST! ❤️🎹🤩

Maybe I missed it, but I think it also needs a way to have it progress through the song's REGULAR structure if you don't alter it. Currently it seems to loop each section endlessly and it's up to you to trigger the sections correctly (again, probably difficult to remember for a large songlist).

On a jam track, not a big deal, but on a more structured song, it's going to take precision to remember to trigger each section sequentially. Again, something Ableton etc do automatically until you instruct them otherwise.

Forgive me if I missed you explaining how to do that. But I think that's it's most likely use scenario, a linear song that you can override when you want to...
