Thanks Bernie I'm still loving the BK9. I have yours in my studio and my first one packed up for gigs. I don't mind editing Styles and SMF's and the organ section is great. It would take a lot for me to change platforms at this point

Having tried editing styles and sequences on most brands except Ketron, I am beginning to understand why so few try to do it..! Except Roland users.

Why the Makeup Tools workflow isn’t on everything I’ll never understand. Editing a style’s sounds, dynamics and drum kit on everything else takes hours. Korg make you do it individually for not only each division, but also each chord type within a division..! Roland does it globally. Takes a few minutes.

As I’ve been trying to say… if a feature is designed well, it becomes popular. If it isn’t, most players will try and say it isn’t popular. Design makes the difference.

I also have two BK-9’s. I doubt I will ever want a different arranger. I know what I need, it covers my needs perfectly, and the amount of work to migrate to a completely different brand would be Herculean. For live band work, the Hammond is my workhorse sound, and this little light arrangers does it better than all others, IMHO.

Stick a fork in me. I’m done! 🎹😎
