Hi Squeak.
The question is:

A) do you want the variation 1,2,etc buttons simply switch to a certain section to the MIDI file, eg as you said:
variation 1 plays measures 1-4, variation 2 plays 4-6 etc.

B) Or do you want to do a style yourself by providing MIDI file snippets that contain the wanted measures in the wanted chord type (major, minor, 7th) and then map it to the arranger buttons ?

Just tell me your wishes (others feel free to partecipate to the discussion too) so that we can look if we can add the features wanted to the Lionstracs Mediastation X-76 Arranger Keyboard: ( http://www.lionstracs.com ).

Basically B) is already in place because the style player works with MIDI file snippets.

if you think that A) is important just tell me what you want exactly. I wrote the MIDI player engine and can add looping if that is wanted by users.

let me know please.

cheers,
Benno

If this is a dumb question I apologize.. Are there any arrangers on the market that allow you to go into the sequencer and specify which measures you want the accomp to play. Meaning can you go in and assign say variation one to play from measure 1-4, and variation 4 from 4-6 and so on.. What I mean is recording the accomp without having to play it. Actually selecting which measures you want the style to play. Synths allow you to see all the empty measures of say the pattern track and then specify which pattern plays at what measure and for how long...

Thanks,
Squeak
