"The talk button?", chord sequencer?
But they put in that internet thing, what is it IDC ?
Maybe I'm wrong.
Mike,
Unfortunately, even as a collective group we have little or no impact upon the design characteristics and features of new keyboards. And, while there were lots of neat features that were eliminated, there were a host of new features on all brands of the newer arranger keyboards that have really proved beneficial. IDC (Internet Direct Connection), however, is still in its infancy and currently the jury is still out when it comes to whether or not this feature will provide performers with any advantages.
A good workaround for the Talk button is to set this feature into a registration. It's easy to do and it can be combined with other functions as well.
The same is true with various foot-pedal function. A single foot pedal becomes a multi-function foot pedal with the use of registrations.
Lots of neat, new things, but like many of us I sure miss some of the old ones.
Cheers,
Gary
