Hi Dennis,
for PA800
no,
"No Transpose" which is the setting
Intro 1 & Ending 1 uses ( by default)for Intro/Endings for onboard styles with chord changes, is actually a setting available on all the style parts. Don't know if you happen to remember, but all the style parts incl fills can be up to 32 bars long.
Only difference as far as I can tell between Intro's/Endings/Fills and Variations is
2 Cv's for I/E/F
6 CV's for Variations
and the way these parts are handled
ie variations automatically loop
Intro's go to a variation
Endings stop
fills play thru once & go to a variation
unless you tap any of the above twice & they'll also keep looping like a variation does.
What possibly made you beleive that Intro1/Ending1 were the only ones that could handle a chord progression was because of what's in the manual.
Manual has stuck to the basics. Users probably find the style structure confusing enough with it's 6cv's & 48 tracks & ntt settings etc without telling them, btw you can put a chord progression in a variation, or guess what , you can have a different time signature & tempo in each of your variations( not in the manual either).
Some of the stuff that can be done would only be suitable as a user style that the user has created for themself, if shared, you'd have to give instructions on how the style is to be played
ie btw only the bottom octave notes useable for chord changes as variation 4 contains 6 riffs.
c triggers cv1, cm :cv2, c7 cv3, cm7:cv4, c6:cv5 , cm6 cv6.
etc etc
I must admit I haven't tried it with 6 cv's , I've only tried it with 2 so far.
Only thing that may get in my way, is if there's a limit to the size of the style file.
Anyway I'm off to give it a go, just for the heck of it.
best wishes
Rikki

Rikki, fwiw and going on my memory, what Diki is talking about is ONLY available for intro 1 on the PA series, where you can use a smf as the intro instead.
I could be wrong, but check it out..
