This is what I hate about teaser announcements. The product is finalized, the videos are out by Ketron themselves, but somehow those in actual possession of an early model aren’t allowed to do more than make ‘wait until you try one yourself’ excuses for issues that have plagued loop based arrangers for years.
To be quite honest, I have already heard some loop weirdness in Ketron’s own demos. Listen to this, and tell me nothing’s wrong as early as 12sec in…
https://youtu.be/gVWwrOSgvlYAgain at 0:24 the bassline and guitar part don’t agree, at 0:43 the player has to play the wrong chords, presumably because the right one (an 11th) is unavailable (if he plays something as obviously recognizable as The Girl from Ipenema, he had better play the correct changes!). And on, and on.
And this is Ketron’s OFFICIAL launch video… and the issues with chord choices are already obvious.
While I understand your enthusiasm for the product, and I understand there are many forward looking features, it seems to me that a loop arranger (unless you spend a Herculean amount of time creating song specific loops) is something you play along WITH, not something that plays along with YOU…
