Diki.....I'm just saying what Roland told ME. But I'm coming to the conclusion that I should believe only half of what's told me. The problem is determining which half?

I didn't know you were also doing conversions. I was listening to some of my styles. In addition to the regular dance styles, I have many that are for one song only, such as the Beach Boys, Beatles, Elvis, etc. Also ethnic dances, ragtime, Strauss waltzes, Macarena, etc. And they don't sound "dated." I'd really like to use many of them.

Korg told me they have the Kaoss pad for their "D-beam." I've never used either so I don't know. But I was playing with the M3 and was able to modulate the horn patch with my hand with their controller.

Roland is introducing a new high-end electronic accordion so I'm wondering what they have in mind with the keyboards.

Don't forget the following:
