Just found this post and really appreciate the idea to keep chord progressions while live playing. Even better would be when you can store the chord chains as well.
 Are you looking for means to lock in the sequence so it cannot be changed by pressing the note buttons?
Yes, this this what I need. What I would like is that once I have entered my chord sequence and validated it by pressing TEMPO, it should not be deleted or modified, as long as I myself I didn't press TEMPO again to enter the screen that allows me to modify or delete it.
Also, I would like it not to be erased when I turn off my ARP or remove the power.
The Chord Chain feature was originally developed to give my ears a rest while exploring parameters.
We are actively working on improving the Chord Sequencer for release in a future firmware update.
This will include: -
- Allowing chord changes at intervals other than on the bar
- Saving chord chains
- Chord repeats for longer chains
- Locking the chain to prevent losing it when pressing a note button
We hope to make this as intuitive and straightforward as it is now, so we don't lose the immediacy of the feature while making it more useful for song composition.
I hope that sounds promising.
Thank you for your feedback if you have any other ideas or suggestions for this feature, please post them here.
Same issue here. It's too easy to clear the chords. I think other suggestions around associating chords or banks etc. might help too.
Perhaps a long-press on the program knob could lock/unlock the chords when pthe Play button is pressed. This would still allow for manual playing of chords. A short press of the Program knob sould also still be able to enter Chord Chain mode to edit them further.

Hello Chris.
will new Chord Sequencer be added in next v8 firmware ?
If not, is there a way to add a "Prevent Chords Chain from being reset" (Yes/No) option in the "Global Setting Menu" ?
Thank you very very very much in advance. 🙂
