Exactly, AJ...

I'm sorry, guys, but like I said, just how many of you routinely trigger their fills in advance..? Personally, I've been playing arrangers for fifteen years or more (hard to remember exactly when!), but I have NEVER played an arranger that didn't trigger fills when you need them. Sometimes you want a fill to go the whole bar, sometimes you want it for only the last three beats, sometimes you want a two beat pick-up, sometimes, just the hint of a pickup and a crash... All of those options out of ONE fill, depending on when you hit it. And, of course, those options are multiplied by how many fills you arranger has.

But now, rather than bitch at Korg until the problem is solved as well as all their competitors have done, you want to suggest that, rather than trigger a fill when I want it, I now have to go against 15 years of practice, and think about triggering the fill even BEFORE I want one?

Just so it is as smooth as the arranger I already have (and which manufacturer has figured out smooth fills for generations prior to this model?)?

That is CRAZY!

That is not a MUSICAL solution to the problem. That is an ENGINEER'S solution to the problem. Sure, it works (as long as you are willing to give up 75% of the other ways of using the fill), but it isn't MUSICAL...

How easy is it going to be, trying to remember which styles you can safely hit the fill when you want it, and which ones are going to be needed a bar in advance? That's a recipe for disaster, if you use a bunch of styles. Even IF you bother to program the type in, you STILL have to know in advance which ones they are. I truly can't believe I am hearing this insanity!

Just get Korg to fix it (how hard can it be when everyone else apparently has it figured?)...
