Any of you Roland pioneers remember this gem. It had 50-60 different styles in it and you just plugged it into your roland and you had an additional............."50-60 styles."

Roland MSL-15 Music Style Super Card #2

I don't know why they don't do something like that today? And they say technology is advancing?

Fran………I kid you not. I was tutored by Abraham Lincoln never to tell a lie.

Newer is not always better

Mmmmmmmm……thousands of styles…….I calculate that would take 12 years to go through all of them. I’ll stick with 50 or so good generic ones. Heck, I’ve gotten away with playing YMCA, Cracklin Rosie, My Life (Billy Joel), Dancing in the Dark (Springsteen), Pretty Woman, etc all with the same style. So far no complaints, but.........I’ve still got my fingers crossed.
