 Orin Ayo is an Arranger/Looper Controller. 
 
 It turns a Guitar Hero game controller HID device into a chord based MIDI controller for an arranger keyboard, module, looper, device or application. It lets you play chords and control the arranger or looper with the buttons on a Guitar Hero games controller.
-It recognises other non-keyboard USB MIDI controllers (like Artiphon Instrument 1) and enables them to be used as an arranger controller.
+It recognises other non-keyboard USB MIDI controllers (like Artiphon Instrument 1 or Chorda) and enables them to be used as an arranger controller. Note that only the first five pads are used like a guitar controller. The strum bridge pads are used to provide control (strum, start/stop, fill, next/prev section).
+It has an internal arranger engine that can play Yamaha SFFx or Ketron KST files. 
+It has an internal synth engine (based on [https://github.com/gree/sf2synth.js/](sf2synth.js)) that can play the styles using sound font (sf2) files with WebAudio.
+The internal synth and style engines are experimental and require a bit more work to be usable.

-The Yamaha MODX and Montage are not really arrangers, but have arpeggios that can be triggeresd via MIDI making them suitable for Orin Ayo. Only the high-end Yamaha PSR arrangers can be controlled by MIDI and only PSR SX-600 has been tested. If your Yamaha PSR  uses the same sysex messages like the SX-600 or QR100, itshould work. The same applies for Korg. It has been tested with the Micro Arranger, but not with the high-end PA series. The new Korg I3 was promising as it has same engine as a Micro Arranger, but midi control of styles was dropped like Yamaha PSR E series arrangers.
