Dear John Smies Thank you very much for promoting my comment from
Synthzone.Danny1972 & Jeff thank you too for your kind words. So I would like to comment on the following:
I have learned when I talk about something, (let alone when I talk about music technology and especially about the Arranger Keyboards that I love), to say things that I know well and especially have experience in them.
I will never talk about something I don't know, so in this case (in Synthzone) I responded to the friend because he said some things that I thought were baseless. I also had to say something about Audio Styles because a (myth) has prevailed around them. In fact, I intend to make a video about this topic so that I can try to put some order into it.
Dear Colas Musique (Christian) I don't know which Post you are referring to about Edit in Genos Preset Style.
So since I have talked about this in a previous post, I would like to say that (at least I) of course I was not referring to modifications of the tempo type, voices as you mentioned but to something deeper.
I am referring to the fact that when we select a Preset Style in which we wish to make some modifications by recording some additional things, (in the Style Creator), then there is no option to record to the already existing Track (Bass, Chord, Pad, Phrase) because when we click on any Track and hold so that the red Record indicator lights up, then an option automatically appears telling you that the channel must be deleted in order to record something extra. And this is an indisputable fact and no one can dispute it because this is what is happening.
At least I was referring to this very bad limitation of Yamaha. And we should emphasize that this limitation only applies to Yamaha. No other company (Korg, Ketron) has this limitation. Of course, the company could make our lives easier here, if at least we could do this work through someone (daw – Cubase, Logic, Reaper, etc.) but unfortunately the work cannot be done right there either because Yamaha (unfortunately again) does not allow us (at least in some easy way) to create or edit separate versions (Maj, Min) in Intro/Ending, unlike (also here) with Korg & Ketron where someone can also create or modify a Preset Style very easily through Markers. So simple and unfortunately Yamaha is the only company that doesn't follow it.
Finally I would like to address
Jeff's comment about whether I or anyone else is monitoring the Forums or groups in order to (report) Ketron.
The answer from my side is clear:
YES.
But here we have to make something clear. My purpose is not to learn the problems (bugs, etc.) from the Forums or from the groups on Facebook because that is done by daily and diligent work on the instrument, but my purpose is mainly to be informed about something that I have not identified yet, as well as to collect user suggestions which could possibly be implemented, and believe me it all works very well, and the result is clear I think. Two OS Updates (yesterday's a big one) in the few months.
Regarding the new Styles that have already been promoted (coming soon video demo), I would like to say that these have already been launched for distribution, which the company will soon announce the distribution method. These Styles will include the one I created
