When playing styles with a chord sequence, why doesn't the intro and endings respect the key that the chord sequence is in? It instead jumps to Cmaj when I select any End button and it's often jarring.

I have noticed this for quite a lot of styles, so I tend to avoid using the end variants at all, and just simply fade-out with the master volume.

On the PA4x the ENDING 1 will always play out in the key of the Chord Sequence, ENDINGS 2 & 3 will play using the chord sequence chords. In all cases it never jumps to Cmaj.

Never tried this on the PA5x

Carsten wrote the obvious , nothing compared with Pa4X that works with preset chord sequencing of midi events in CV in fixed mode.
- External chord sequencing inputs work only in Pa5X and work only in parallel mode style tracks and not in CV fixed midi events.
- When you apply manually different chords while INTRO and ENDING of factory Styles then you will understand of how this works.
In other words , playing an external sequence file , when using a factory Style's INTRO or ENDING , you just play in parallel 2 sequencers
data and you mess up the result of Style since INTRO & ENDING already contain another chord sequence in fixed mode.
- If you want to play with external chord sequence inputs , then you have to create INTRO & ENDING in parallel midi events manually in custom
styles or just use VAR & Fills only and stop or fade out Style.


Hope this helps

Sorry for my delayed response (I had a major heart attack on Friday and was just released from the hospital after a stent implant in my LAD artery).

I never like to use fades as it's symbolic of poor musicianship not to know how to end a song properly.

Some of the discussion of how this works is over my head. Parallel chords and all that stuff. If there is a way to fix it so it works that would help. If it's not a problem on Pa4X, why would they break it on Pa5X?

Thanks everyone for your kind remarks. I've a long recovery ahead and will have to be on meds the rest of my remaining life. The chest pains are gone, but blood thinners make me feel dizzy and have frequent nose bleeds.
About the only thing I CAN do is play with my Pa5X at this point. No outdoor projects that involve heavy lifting.

From what Antony is saying, I guess that there are certain limitations in the style function with regard to endings and chord sequences. Perhaps future software updates will address these issues.
