JC,
Yep, sounds like a great idea. I will add it to the description of the request for a fix over in the Korg place.
Thanks,
Lee

Zuki....yes in certain songs the Break Fill is a very dramatic feature.....my E60 doesn't have it but I find workarounds here & there to compensate while playing, & some of the Roland styles have a pseudo break built in to the fills which is usable.

Happy Thanks Giving

Hi Lee,
depends on what type of pads players are using.
Percussion pads play in the endings,
instrument pads like piano, guitar etc don't. They work the same as psr pads, they stop when an ending starts. BTW , psr pads play thru breaks also.

I think the only reason we sometimes hear a percussion pad keep playing past the ending, is, because it plays the full 1 bar loop, wheras an ending may stop in the middle of a bar.
Pads are only synced to a style, they're generic & not actually a part of it.

best wishes
Rikki

Rilli,
Yep, right on. Not a big deal, but worth fixing.

I use pads a lot, (they are a real sleeper on the PA!) and sometimes I forget to hit pad stop before the ending.

The break fill on the Korg is a great idea (same on the Yamaha's), but it has one significant problem...

If you only have three fills per style, and one of them is a B/F, that's leaves two regular fills for the entire style... simply not enough for a four variation arranger. It is, I believe, one of the contributing factors to the overall lack of smoothness in Korg fills compared to Yamaha and Roland.

It is WAY past time for Korg to change to a six or more fill system... Others manage it with little drama, and variation to variation fills would work smoothly no matter WHAT direction you went in.

A four variation arranger needs twelve fills to have one for each possible transition (not counting fill-to-same). Yamaha have six, Roland have seven, but if you have a B/Fill, Korg have TWO...

Not good enough, IMO.

Diki,
I see where you come from on this...In playing the last few days...it seems like overall it is not always any issue at all. Just occationally and only with some styles and a certain playing style. Maybe in PA3XPRO they will make that architectural change. I think it is a BIG effort to do so.

Meanwhile I love the fact that you can easily LOOP any style element. Yesterday I discoverd a nice ending 3 I liked...then I pressed it twice, getting it to loop, and I like it as a element to play during a part of my song.

Sounded real nice. Then just hit any other elemnt to go smoothly to it.
