these atre all techniques that have existed and been used on arranger keyboards going back to the 'i' series. But if you dont hold onto your keyboard to get under the hood and swap it out for the next one , you wont even realise what these instruments are capable of.

For example i use the STS to drop in and out sounds in the arranger without using the slider for speed so at the press of a button i can have a hammaond playing in th accompaniment or strings and then strip the sound out . These are all tricks you learn to apply to arranger playing when you hold onto your instrument . Thats why i have taken a 'Diki' like stance in terms of his relationship with the G70. Until an arranger comes up with new features that i might actually use and has at least 80% different sounds and styles that i would actuially use , then i am not changing from my PA1X. If i want a new style , i programme one. If i want chord sequencer features i programme it into a style on say the 4th variation .

These are the technigues the style programmer for purple rain uses. I am very familiar with his work.
