If this is all true...how can so many be using the Yamaha arranger at home and professionally?

I have seen lots of playing , changing OTS etc using standard factory styles/OTS and/or registrations with very nice results....if it is that bad no one would ever buy one...

I don't see a name for you in your profile?

Also, I am not under any conditions going down the SW arranger path again. I do not want to do any programming. Especially anything as deep as DSP. I bought the Yamaha for content, available styles and quality voices. AND supposedly smooth style engine.

THIS TIME I am going to concentrate on learning music better and perfecting my playing.

If the SX-900 will not give me smooth transitions to different sounds I will can it, and get something that will.


Lee,
I myself use the SX900 OTS LINK ON all the time. Whenever I change the variation, the voices also change automatically with a smooth transition. Even while I hold the Sustain pedal and change the voices, the transition is imperceptible. It has to do with the effects for each voice. I learned a secret, and it worked for me. Whenever I change variation I make sure the new voice is not activated on the previous variation, this way there is no abrupt change. Remember, you can have 3 voices on the right hand. So, let's say you have the Sax voice on the right one of the OTS 1 and if you want to have a electric guitar on the next OTS, make sure you have this electric guitar on the right two and leave the right one muted. This way the transiton is smooth.
