Brickboo, I think the point of the thread was the ability to adjust the drums WITHIN a kit, not simply raise or lower the entire drum Part. Just about EVERY modern arranger allows you to adjust the Parts easily enough. But when a snare is buried, or a clave part is driving you crazy, raising the entire kit isn't the solution.

BTW, the Roland's also had an easy to get to page where either the drums or the percussion could be muted in realtime (great for breakdowns), and there's a nice easy mute button on each drum edit page, too, if you need to silence a sound altogether...

None of this stuff is proprietary... It's time that some other manufacturers swallowed their pride and simply COPIED the best features that Roland have dropped.

Come on, Korg, come on Ketron.... where's my Chord Sequencer?

I have owned and edited on both. The Roland wins....EASILY....Nothing else comes close to the G70, not only for the degree of detailed editing, but add the ease with which this is accomplished and its top of the class.

Yes the Korg DOES have rather detailed editing as well, but you need to go through hoops to get it done and it is not as easy as some would have you believe.

And once again, I reiterate that Roland put this capability in it's CHEAPEST E series as well as the TOTL G70 and E80...

Thanks to all for your insightful replies as well as the welcome back. I continue to check the forum daily so never really left, but simply don't have as much spare time to post as regularly as I did in years past. That said, though Tyros2 continues to satisfy both myself & my audiences, I'm keeping my eyes & ears open to all the upcoming new arr kb model offerings. My current top 61 note considerations include:

1) Korg PA800 or next generation equivalent
2) Ketron Audya 5
3) Yamaha Tyros4 and/or Yamaha S910

Unfortunately (for me), the only reason I'm unable to consider a Roland (yet) is because its the only arranger keyboard manufacturer not yet supporting jazz style chord recognition the way all the other aforementioned brands have finally thankfully done.

And yes, another vote for bringing back Roland's very useful for live perf. 'chord sequencer'. I really think all the brands should have picked up on this by now.

Dennis...
I don't understand your comment.I just did it...simple as pie.

1) select the style
2) hit menu button
3) press tracks on the screen
4) select the drum family you want to change..use the data wheel OR your finger as a slider on the touch screen to adj as you want.

Done. and IF you want to save it...just save the new settings as performance.

How much easier can it b??

Leeboy we are talking about individual drum instrument editing, not simple volume control!!

Sheesh, I could do the entire PA1/2 style library in about two hours if it were just the volumes or mutes

Oh and that method you are describing is for WHOLE kits. I also used that method from time to time and it is really easy albeit a tad simplistic.

Stop being so defensive about the PA series..I didn't dump it because I didn't like it...The PA2x was too unreliable.. I should know, I went through three of em!! All with a different factory issue.
