Don,
I know the user styles do not contain the RH voice. I did not know the registrations contained the voices. But, I have not used registrations a lot. I need to work with that and do some experimenting. Still loving my Ketron experience and I really like the convenience of my SD40 module.

Yes, I was able to load all my SD7 Registrations into the SD40 when I had it, and they all worked perfectly, pulling up styles, text, voices, etc., even though they weren't saved anywhere on the module or USB.

Hi Deane, I think you can save your user voice in the 4 slots and save them with your user styles.

Tye, try using intro 1 for a fill/break. You have to hit it slightly early, but a lot of the factory styles have been changed to make it very useful.
As far as Hold button, not certain what you mean, but remember a lot of functions can be assigned to the row of buttons on the bottom left. I have assigned 1.Tempo Ritard (to ritard endings mostly), 2. Track Mute (even though there is a dedicated button. Default is mute all style parts except drum and bass). 3. R1 DSP on/off. 4. Lead voice cycle between R1, R2 and R3. 5. Melody Intelligence. 6. Arranger Hold (maybe what you need?) 7. Lower Hold
This arranger is VERY deep. Don't give up on it until you learn what all it can do. In many cases a long press (press and hold) opens up editing screens. The Balance knob doubles as a data wheel...much, much more than isn't readily apparent.

Don et al,
Is it an option in lieu of a break button to use this track mute button, or the arr on/off as a break? Seems like it'd be suitable with just the drums playing while you do your break. Thoughts?

Donny, I know you're emotional right now. We all are. Let's stay calm, and focused. This is a 100% safe space to connect with friends. Let's embrace the opportunity. As per requests - I'm thinking of going live with the SD7 very soon. I even shaved today. Love ya, man.

You could do that. You'd have to hit it once to turn on and again to turn on.
BTW when a midi file is playing the track mute button mutes track 4 of the midi file, and of course it can be changed by holding the button down and selecting another track.
I save Track Mute because I had a button I wasn't using and it is easier to see in low light than the built-in button.
When I first got the EA7, after using it a week or so, the style parts quit playing. I tried everything and finally decided it was broken. I took it to the shop and they couldn't find anything wrong. Later I discovered that the track mute button and been engaged and saved to a User Program. I didn't know that it controlled style parts; I thought it was for only midi parts, as all the other arrangers I've owned had done!

... the mind is a terrible thing!

For sure. I have read that owner's manual so many times I can almost recite it, at least the parts that affect my usage. Still a lot it can do that I don't get into...sampling for example.
