I guess you did miss something.
First, when I gave the example of creating multiple styles with the same drum and bass sound, I was saying that to give a reason for creating/editing styles and not to say whether I do that with minor or detail editing.


Second, if you go back to a lot of the threads on the MS you would see the call for Dom to put more content on the MS and stop developing all the advance style editing tools.


And again you are still talking in the very abstract language of “Good”, “better,” “best”. All subjective and don’t have any meaning.

And converted styles? That is one of the selling points for Yamaha arrangers that there are lots and lots of converted and third party styles for Yamaha. So there is no problem there at least for most arranger players.

And when you say most of us do not create styles from scratch you should qualify that with here on synthzone.


And I am sorry, but if a style is near perfect OTB for a user, then why would you need detail style editing?

If a manufacturer is going to put all of its RandD in to style content that they know would work near perfect OTB for the synthzone arranger club, then what would be the incentive to develop advance style creation tools?

If manufacturers see that arranger users say that they do not have the skill to use advance features of an arranger, then why should they spend money on those advance features? That is probably why Roland did not put the CS on the G 70.

If you still do not get it let me use another analogy.

Yamaha users are showing that they are content with a cheap plastic 61 key arranger.
Do you think there is any incentive for Yamaha to make a well-built 76 key arranger? No. It is not worth Yamaha’s time and money to do that. They no people would buy the cheap 61 key arranger and a well-built 76 key arranger would not bring them any returns.

Likewise, if manufacturers see that users of arrangers are showing that they do not have the skill to create styles, and edit styles in detail, then why should manufacturers have those features. All they would do is concentrate on subjective additions i.e. making the most perfect styles OTB that they think those same persons want.
