Scott, My preferred setup is as follows: My Roland G1000 is programed to recognize chords triggered by the left side of my split in the intelligent mode. This keymode as well as the rest of the important parameters[transpose,EQ. Effects, controllers etc] are saved as a Performance[simular to your registrations, but allows me more flexible lock outs for Tones ,Tempo, Style,Keyboard mode,Transpose,after touch settings and velocity settings, etc],..All links from Sequence play are turned off[no surprise tone changes].This main Performance is programed with Controller settings as my "color" tones that are brought in using an EV-5 pedal[this sound is added to my primary righthand tone[s].For example my primary tone is piano and my color tone organ with a slider control for rotor speed and another for "dirt", a button is on board to turn the rotor off. I have a button programmed to toggle between bass and auto accompliment[arranger]. Another button to "Hold" the arranger triggered on the left hand.On a Zip disk I have stored about a thousand styles, any are avaible to play on the downbeat of the next measure[absolutely the best system to date to accomplish this style change]. On the same Zip disk are a thousand Standard Midi Files with Lyrics, ready to play at a touch of a button[selection, and also allows me to search for my next song,style or sequence. ] I can switch back and forth from Seq play and Realtime/arranger play. My realtime setup is retained even during sequence play[less the drum/arranger]All the realtime parts and controllers are still available..Maybe You can get an idea why this is the best keyboard for my needs. I also use the Digitech workstation vocalist. This is set up to read the harmony track [5] for sequences and any of the realtime parts[As I choose from the G1000]. I have found this to be the best overall setup for me. The vocalist sits on the G1000..Fran
