I filled in requests, but can't remember what I asked for

my wife said the mind was the second thing to go. Sure wish I could remember what the first thing was.

Back on topic...

Who thinks that audio styles are the future? (No i am not talking audio drums, but full fledged audio styles aka ketron...

Its not a Yamahas fault that they tried only to improve their weakest style part the drums with some audio, i think they succeded very well there..

But none of the other arranger brands have taken as much as a single step in that direction, just wondering why? Because the processor power required comes cheep, as are the mathematical algorythms required to transpose in real time.

I'd rather have the full MIDI based styles than either full audio (Ketron) or audio drums (Yamaha).

These two latter style types are still too restrictive (especially Yamaha) to be of any real use to someone like me who does a lot of editing.

The Ketron are obviously more flexible, but the fact that they don't use all audio parts for all possible chords is not acceptable to me.

With Yamaha, it is not possible to share edited audio drum styles, even with those with the same instrument...big drawback.

So, I'll stick with an instrument that uses only MIDI based styles, thank you very much, until the technology comes along to overcome these non-acceptable (to me) disadvantages.
