To me is the only feature to have the ultimate minimal machine and say bye to computers forever. If there only a remaining code , If Colin agree it coul be a last update for us,lovers of that feature sacrifing all upcoming ones leaving other people right to choose delay etc. I could firm rigt now, I don´t need any other feature that chord mode. We five could even pay Colin for his effort to achieve that,agree? It just come to my mind early house and G force,Robert Hood records and I´ll it again with just a P3!
