Dnj - I do sing and play the keyboard live 50% or more of the time. The sax playing is an added feature that catches some by surprise and gets their attention.

Smf's are monotonous. They play the same identical way every time. Backing Sequence Mode on the i30 allows me to use most functions as if I were playing live so as to be able to change variations, intro's, endings, fills etc, etc etc, on the fly just like playing live. Can't do that with Midi files

Graham - I have maybe 10 or so tunes as Midi files from BIAB but there's no way to make them shine like the Korg styles. They make things interesting and make for more variety. However, there is no comparison between BIAB and any keyboard styles.

So far only Tony the Technics player seems to be surprised that some of the other keyboards won't copy and paste measures. He thought they all did this simple but very valuable feature for his and my needs. The point I'm trying to make here is that just about every keyboard has better styles than any computer software I've seen.

I have Jammer Pro also and I have maybe 20 or 30 tunes from it that I play through the keyboard as midi files to play my sax. But neither do they shine like any of the keyboard styles I've heard on any keyboard.

So, why don't they make the sequencer to copy and paste measures on all keyboards. You who do not sequence a bunch with your keyboards will never appreciate what we're talking about. And thats OK. I see I'm in the minority here.

Hey I'm a minority. Maybe I can get a Government loan and manufacture an arranger that can do copy and paste in the sequencer, with right hand chord recognition, rootless chord recognition, amd real sounding horns.
Oh yeah!! and a 38-24-38 blonde to sing backup and turn the sheet music for Fran and some of the other guys eh? Better make that a redhead for Dave, and a 6'2" for DonM.
