Thank you Martin. I greatly appreciate it if you could help me to get started.
Here is how chord track sends midi style messages to PSR:
Chord Tracker generates three MIDI metadata records for time signature, key signature and tempo, followed by three System Exclusive messages:
F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7 GM reset
F0 43 10 4C 00 00 7E 00 F7 XG system ON
F0 43 60 7A F7 Accompaniment start
The preamble is followed by a slew of Yamaha System Exclusive messages for the chord changes:F0 43 7E 02 34 00 34 7F F7 Chord control (F maj/F)
F0 43 7E 00 08 7F F7 Section control (MAIN A ON)
F0 43 7E 02 23 00 23 7F F7 Chord control (Eb maj/Eb)Chord Tracker does not generate the Yamaha proprietary CdS1 chunk in the MIDI file. All playback is controlled by metadata and System Exclusive messages.

I just imported the midi file generated by Chord Tracker into cubase and tried to play it.
The midi file is basically two midi tracks 1) Chord Data and 2( the other SysEx Data. Both contain (meta) midi data and sysEx data. I have attached the screen shots of the list editor for both track. The chord track only contain Chord Symbols and NOT the actual chords. I think there is a way to get around this.
I set the MIDI setting on PSR so that I receives All midi parts. I plays back the styles parts ( change the variations from Intros and A-D), how ever, the chord are not played back. Just the drum section is played back. I guess I need to enter Sysex data manually in list editor or to use my PSR keyboard and midi input transformer.
I was wondering what channel(s) contains progressions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
CS
