Hello Mediastation X-76 team,
Few questions here:

1.) Why not XG midi voice compatible, only
GM/GS ! XG gives much more control options and much more better voices than GM/GS !
Well, the first release coming out with GM/GS database, made with MySql.After this database, we can duplicate it and editing all the parameters with XG protocoll. This need a lot time why are to much parameters! ( maybe you can edit for us...LOL)

2.) how about PRESET VOICES, how many and which voices/voice banks there would be pre-installed (anything like in other arranger keyboards, ie. like Solton, Yamaha, etc) ?
There are about 948 GM/GS sound standrard plus about 200 new High quality Solist instruments.The bank now is about 60Mb binary file, but is editable UP 256Mb SOUND Bank. It mean about 4 time bigger than now..
Soon is available the sound list, when the new portal is ready.

3.) how about STYLES, how many and which styles would be pre-installed (same question like above, ie. versus Solton, Yamaha) ?
Installed are about 100, but you can buy the EMC style converter and loading all the styles that you want, from every keyboards available in the EMC style converter.
Step by step, we will programming new styles too and they we put in the server free.

4.) any up/down - programmable arpeggiator, and if yes, what kinds and exist there any presets ?
We usa the SEQ24 sequencer edited for our application by Rob Buse. It is working like the arranger, then you can editing ANY king of arpeggiator, like a presets in file mode.

5.) how about accompaniment/rhytm section ?
and how about INTROs, FILL-INS/OUTS, BREAKS,
VARIATIONS, RITTANDO, ETC... rhythm section thingys - ie. how many per each type, etc ?
How about that, if there are those - at least - 8 simultaneous controllable and editable accompaniment tracks like those Solton and Yamaha has ?
Our arranger is 16 traks, 16 pattern, 4 layer, 16 realtime volumes, 16 real time MUTE/SOLO, 16 DRUMS note MUTE in realtime.
You have the 16 key's for the patterns and 8+8 slider + mute functions. Full editing with event list and Piano roll
Go there for see the SEQ24 base specificaton: http://www.filter24.org/seq24


6.) those MODULATION and PITCH BEND wheels -controllers are positioned too high on the
panel's surface.
Better place for them would be on the bottom left side (of contoller's panel surface) =>
better ergonome then.
Yes, we know really well, the down space we need for made some stuff more.... I can't now tell you..Anyway we can't move it in a different position...ALL calculate!

7.) Why not 10" TFT screen right away ?
Why the 10" is to big and the the mediastation will to deep, like EKO...you like have a keyboard or a 747 plane?? And then where you can find a flight case??

8.) exist there SIMULTANEOUS RIGHT1, RIGHT 2 (possible Right 3), LEFT, DRUMS,PERCUSSIONS,
PHRASES, PADS, etc... voices (16 visible and
playable at the same time => like Solton, Yamaha, etc...) and are they controllable/
editable, soloing, mute, etc... by those hardware sliders ? and if yes, are they controllable during live playing ?
Yes, all controllable during live, 8 layer sound tone, like a master keyboard.

9.) that dial wheel (on right side of the
screen) should exist flatter/thinner because it would be much better looking then (now it is so high). Diameter is OK, I'll think.
I know, but DJ like in this way and not thin, I'm sorry.

10.) Some1 wrote about those Cubase VST/SX sequensers, Kontakt/Halion samplers, etc...
Windows apps. Well, indeed that ability to run Lindows & Windows apps would be truly nice indeed, but I guess it may exist very
difficult task indeed.

Yep, for this first step we will use Red Hat 9 why is much stable, more of this question ask in benno, I'm not the Linux software engineer
