I don’t understand why you say your problem can’t be solved.
Why don’t you just record a multipad, and put it on repeat?
Tom I don't know if Mix Master is any helpful to your needs.Hello Panos,
It was made especially for editing midi files from Yamaha keyboards on a pc and after you edit your midi file on your pc you can play it on your keyboard without loosing the voices and midi events as they were recorded on your psr.

No need to change your keyboard
That S670 is the same as all other Yamaha arrangers,
This is what I read in his initial post
My use case is so simple: I want to record four or eight bars of accompaniment, run it as an endless loop and then improvise to it.
Yes, a chord sequencer would do the trick but no point in dreaming Yamaha hasn’t got one,
The next best thing is a style part.
Unfortunately my Tyros4 does not have this audio A-B repeat function :'( so I can't say how easy it is to set up correctly or if the repeat is 'seamless', but it might be worth a try to see if it does what you want and how convenient or otherwise it is!
Since I can still return the S670, I will do that. I'll see if the S775 are more suitable for my purpose. Or I'll wait for the successor of the S670, that shouldn't take long. Maybe Yamaha has learned from his competitors :D
In my association, for the past several years, with the Casio CTK/WK Arranger Workstations, over on the Casio Forums, I have seen this same question come up time and time againHow about the "Phrase Pads" feature of the new CT-X3000/CT-X5000 models? It seems like it would meet the needs of the original poster.

Your opinion and everyone else's opinion and experience matters to me and make me see things from another prospective which i might haven't thought.
Tom is familiar with ableton live so I guess he spent 95% of his time equalizing/mixing etc rather than finding chord sequences.
