Hi Alex,
I have to agree with you.
Some of the terminology is confusing.
I'm used to calling styles :
" Styles " not patterns.

Intro's/endings, variations fills,
"Style Parts" not " Sections "

Drums, bass , guitar, phrases
"Tracks" not " Parts"

I read the SD1+ manual about 3 times before it really started to sink in. It is poorly written. There's no drum maps. I think some of the owners don't realize all the drums available to them (and the drums are an awesome feature of the keyboard.)
Don't think I've come across anyone yet who's used the "audio loop" function in a style. It's pretty amazing when you can sync an audio drum loop in a style.

It's a pity when a poorly written manual lets a great keyboard down. Spending the time learning the functions I wanted, was well worth it.

best wishes
Rikki

As far as navigation goes - IMO Ketron's system is a bit different from most other ones, and on several occasions that I had tried Ketron products, I felt a bit confused by their teminology (and I am not a technically illiterate person), and some of the details of their OS.
