When playing with the arranger can you search and then select a midi file to play without effecting what arranger has been playing?

I know the Tyros will allow you to serach and select a midi file while playing an arranger and not effect anything

The SD-1 will not

Also when a midi file is playing, can you select a performance set-up and not effect the midi playback?

thanks

Frankie,
That's actually one saving grace that the 2100 has going for it in my setup. I used to hate not being able to plan the next tune while playing in a different format. I suspect that it may be similar to the PA series though. Let's wait and see !

Frankieve,

I think it is possible (I'm not 100% sure though) The PA1Xpro has two separate sequencers and you can use/play seq-A while looking for another song on seq-B.

I expect the same for using styles.

And ...... be honest... who wants to use midi's on stage with an SD1 ?

I feel midi files are the end result of song done on a arranger saved and played back later.

anyway, i don't think the pa80 could do it but the tyros could, unfortuntaley i am spoiled with the sd1 and am looking at the korg, but if it is set up like the sd1, i probably will wait for a roland or soemthing

I expect very few people will leave Ketron SD1 for the new PA1XPro.
I'm spoiled too and tried the PA1Xpro for several hours.... I'll stay loyal to Ketron for sure !

The dual sequencers will, in fact let you set up SEQ#2 while playing SEQ#1, but until someone confirms it .... I doubt that the styles can be accessed during SEQ mode. It hasn't been possible so far in the PA series.

Your right Uncle Dave, but I think almost all of the boards allow you to pick the next song as one is playing,

So is the Tyros the only one that has the ability

So my real question would be, what is the closest back up for the SD1

Another SD1?

except another sd1
