Hi Don , thanks for your reply .
Sorry to read about your Ciao having a problem , really, you have to send it 2000 miles ?? wow where's it going to ??
Yes I tried to find the Alpert style and could not find it either !!
Perhaps when Dave is back from his holiday he will help us !!
I have a KN7000 which is just great but it is just too big to keep taking out on gigs ,thats why a wanted the XP module to go with my Concerto !!
i had originally planned to also midi up my Elka Vox 83 to the XP module but I'll knock that idea on the head because once the setting for the concerto midi are sorted and settle down with no over night loss of settings, that is it as far as I'm concerned !! it is doing my head in !!!so to speak.
Sometimes due to work load with the day time job I may not play for a week or two and then I will go out and do a strict tempo dance gig or social club , I expect everything to work first time with no !! messing about, fiddling with settings ,channels , midi etc !!!!
I believe this XP is good but at present it is not set up correctly for me !!

I agree that Gem need to make more information available about their style software and it's availability .

Thats another reason why i'm still so loyal to the Technics brand .
i have a large amount of style software that i purchased and it is so good .

Someone tried to sell me the Orla expanders last year at an accordion festival in the UK but there are no real extra style disks available it was only good if you are prepared to accept the styles in the module .
Glenn miller sound . forget it !!

But that would never satisfy me for my gigs !!
