Hi
All of the above posts resonate with me and can really relate to wanting to keep a previous machine.
Case in point traded in the my Ty 5 for the Genos and although was very excited about all the new voices and styles I sorely
missed the styles the Ty 5 provided and had to download those missing files. Am still having difficulty getting the hang of
playlist and song file playback. Those files on the Genos are all messed up in different folders and perhaps another tour of
how that function works is in the cards. Another issue that is difficult is the new way the styles are sorted in genres. I still
prefer the standard sets of pop, ballroom, latin,,, etc.etc. and to go trouncing around the different genres and find that there are
swings or latins in different sets is perturbing.
Now am faced with a potential acquisition of the s900 which follows the genos system of songplayback filing , recording and style files.
When i do the music backing for our plays i make midi files,,, which are named in succession 001, 002,,plus the name of that file
so that if i have to play that midi again i just go back to the number i need. This is one of the reasons that am set on keeping
my s975 , not trading it in....I like the style divisions and easy access to recording. et cet.
Every machine offers something that the other does not have. It is nice to have an arsenal of keyboards (for ex. Kris Nichollson)
and noone should feel bad about keeping or procuring a previous model. The only things to consider is budget and ROOM.
have fun and enjoy
cheers
