No matter WHERE you are in the bar when you hit it.


Diki, I ahve explained this before to you but I will again, if you want a rest on the first beat you can program a rest so the fill starts on beat 2, or 3 for that matter.

In fact I had several 2 beat pickup/fills. I had to do them myself, but they could be done.

Same goes for the endings, as there are none on board I made some, ending on different beats as well. The arps on the yammies are VERY flexible.

There are quite a few factory arps that would lend themselves to this manipulation ans still sound okay, for others you may need noted adjusting as well, ie removal. but you can get it to work.

I giged with an XS7 for a while and I had no fill issues at all.

Oh wait , yes there was one...The ridiculous one where fills could be triggered via a footpedal on the rack XS, but NOT on any keyboard versions. I still do not understand why Yamaha would not include this on both.

I will be very interested in the 70 when it arrives out here. The physical size (not weight) of the S90ES was the only reason I moved on from it. Apart from that, and no footpedal arp triggering, it was great.
