Nick,

How are you editing the styles?

Are you using a G70, or a supplied PC program?

Ian, i am doing it all completely on the GW8. all the G70 styles load straight in without any conversion. its just the same as loading in Yamaha styles to a Tyros or PSR...

all i have been doing is re-voicing and changing volumes / effects all on board the GW.

But as you cannot overwrite the factory banks, there is only 127 user style slots available. So adding additional styles are a bit limited and one does need to be selective, although 127 is a LOT

And it can load in another 127 from USB pretty quickly...

yes very true Diki!!

Please do not take it as a criticism of the keyboard, I have already stated elsewhere that I think this is probably the best value, best sounding keyboard in its class...If not for a couple of small things I probably would still have mine, (the GW8 version)

Don't worry about criticizing the board... I already have, for several reasons. Doesn't mean I don't LIKE it, though!

See, that's what I'm LOOKING for, here at SZ. Even though you might LIKE an arranger, even though you might OWN an arranger, you should still be objective enough to point out and criticize its' flaws as well as praise it for its' strong points. Why some of us feel the need to CONCEAL flaws to self-justify a purchase beats me. Say it after me, c'mon, it won't hurt...

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS THE 'PERFECT' ARRANGER...

The more we discuss flaws in our OWN arranger, the more the industry is going to pay attention to them. They certainly don't really care what someone who owns something ELSE thinks about their product (not that much, anyway ). First and foremost come the owners, and their opinions.

Your arranger is like your kids... Let them grow up without a word of criticism, praise them for everything they do, no matter how much they mess up, and you will raise a spoiled brat, good for nothing ne'er-do-well. Show a little tough love, my friends...

Well said Diki - couldn't agree more.
Amazing how some people get in a huff if you dare criticise the board they own.

Tony are you still having problems with the Audya?

Btw I played Fran's prelude the other night before we went out for a fantastic Italian dinnnr and was very impressed at what this KB can do. It's a very versitile lightweight arranger that can fill many needs in the right scenario.
