Originally posted by squeak_D: I don't see the contradiction Genesys. The Zone's arranger forum makes up such a small part of the arranger community. I don't think arranger players lack the skills to create their own styles. I'm saying BASED ON THIS FORUM and based on posts from the past regarding how styles are used..., it would appear that MOST (on this forum) are happy with the preset styles as they are and any editing is often minute. Rikki is an exception as yourself.., (when looking at THIS forum).
However.., this forum is a SMALL very very very SMALL part of the arranger playing community. The complaints regarding Ketron not adding these style recording features applies as a "whole". Ketron has greatly limited this area (even for those who do not dig too deep into style editing and may want to change a few things yet to find that those tools are not there.., at least NOT YET). For the person (and the best example I can give) or the region that you OFTEN find people writing their own styles (which is MIDDLE EASTERN music). These individuals who would commonly utilize these features are currently left in the dark if they want to buy and Audya.
Based on what I've seen over the years Genesys.., these TOTL arrangers do a very good job at covering tradtional western styles.., but MANY (stock units) do not fair well for other region's unless you spend MORE money and buy a region specific arranger (such as an oriental model).
Hell.., just talk to Nedim regarding availability of middle eastern styles on some brands of arrangers.
Again.., looking at THIS forum Genesys.., the majority here have reported they're content with the preset styles and don't feel the need to deeply edit them. It's not saying arranger players lack the skills to create them.., it's just saying that (at least here) you find owners content with 95% of what's already in the board. Not just in styles.., but even in patches.

I agree with the above except for one thing.
You can make small edits on the Audya you just can not make detail edits. It is this synthzone market that the Audya is made for. That is why it is surprising to hear persons on this forum say that they want detail style edits on the Audya when on threads on the MS they say that they are incapable of editing styles.
For the record I would want detail style editing on the Audya and midijay. And it would be better if there is a PC program to do that.
