Trosha, if you have a problem with me reposting your demo just let me know and I will remove it.

In the guys defence Diki, there's nothing wrong with the demo, it's the song that goes nowhere and it was written that way.

Go download the midi file and have a listen and you will see what I mean. It's the same beat with no variation from start to finished.

You should know this, it's a very popular song.

James

perfomance.And i will record new demo
song today with all Var and Fill
Greetings

Awesome, i can't wayt to hear it...

Well, the original recording has pickups and fills... if the MIDI file sucks, that's hardly a justification for the style doing the same Thanks for posting the demo... Now, honestly, do you think this really represents any kind of quantum leap forward in arranger sound?

I anxiously await the demos of the MS doing Ketron styles In all fairness, if they are as unimpressive as all the demos so far posted using Yamaha styles, I don't think that Ketron is going to sweat. But you have to understand the copyright issue. Let us get VERY fanciful here, and just pretend that the MS ends up actually being able to do the Ketron styles, better than Ketron's themselves (as unlikely as that seems). But let's assume it, though...

What happens to Ketron, should their body of content be copied? Would Ketron sales suffer, as a result? No-one's going to buy a Ketron if the MS does it as well (or better) and does so much more TOO... So what happens to Ketron's styles? They dry up, of course. They stop being made, and NOW what use is your software?

But, the bottom line is, just like the Yamaha style player (and the failed T2 clone project, from years ago) is that the hype is never going to match reality. Yamaha styles on the MS fail to impress at all, and one can reasonably conclude that the Ketron project will go the same route.

But, should they ever succeed, don't discount the harm that leeching of of others' copyrighted content could do to the industry. I am SURE that Dom would be concerned if someone successfully reverse engineered the entire MS project, and posted full details about it for free on the Web so you could make your own MS clone without paying him a red cent for all his work. Copyright infringement is a FAR more complex issue than most here would LIKE it to be...

Dickey much you boring with the copyright laws.Not interest me at all ..
Everyone buys sintsizajear for self.To me is important that I can do what I want my
synth.If should to remap a style or a delete a certain given that we would
did what we need.Yamaha the Tyros is selected from me because at least
sound.Tyros 3 has about 750 compared to a 1500 Roland to sound.
And Yamaha has CUSTOM VOICE BANK where you can sample the add own sound.
128 sound places.So You could made style for themselves without the other converted
style.If just love to do to.I do not have to buy new every few years keyboards.Only adding sound and style.I if you do not have to like Lionstracs dont buy.Play it to your Roland and adda money to constantly adds new series.

Hi Diki
1. Ketron style play has nothing to do with Lionstracs; it is an additional program to the Livestyler software http://www.live-styler.de/home which will be available to all Livestyler users at a cost.

2. The MS is designed for the Workstation market, however software is provided that can be loaded into the MS if required that will allow you to create styles. (It is not being marketed as a play the chord, and everything is done for you type of keyboard)

3. As to whether Livestyler will come with the Ketron loops is unknown. (My guess is that it will come with a selection of free loops that are available on the web, and that sound similar to the Ketron loops, or will be licensed from Ketron)
Note: for existing Ketron styles the Livestyler has a mapping for the Ketron SD 2 module, and so if you plug one in you have full Ketron compatibility. (Excluding Audya)

4. You always say that arrangers are stale, and so do not attract younger users, yet those that do their own thing, (Create and use styles the way they want (And are usually younger than typical arranger players) are criticised because they don’t do Big, Band, Foxtrots, Swing etc. like the big arranger manufactures do.

5. If you want an arranger type keyboard for the young ones, the MS is it, because it doesn’t do Big Band, Swing etc. (Although if programmed it could do) but allows them to create and play their style of music. (No offence Diki, but I’m afraid you are stuck in an arranger rut, just like those that got stuck in the organ rut during the 90s, so it’s either move on or stay as you are, because the young ones sure aren’t going to do what their parents did/do)

the ketron audya styles do not include audio files in the file, they are midi files with triger comands for audio files i think. they can ad loops with the same BPM/bar and name in the audio loop map for the style.as you said maybe they wil use ketron midi styles with third party loops. or maybe we can create audio styles on qranger then save the midi style triger file in ketron format and place the loops in audio map for that style.

and diki there wil come third party audio styles for ketron audya. for ketron audya style is licensed from EMC Style. i think EMC Style is licensed by ketron for that.
but i do not think they wil use ketron internal audio loops, before that they know the copyright rules about that.

I'm starting to think Diki is like some relentless Terminator robot that's actually broken and stuck in a loop.
