Hi Bill,
so you think that the sounds do get loaded on startup , rather than have to be streamed across like some of the samples have to be when using computer softsynths.

My ketron can use samples also ( limited size though) and it can also load them on start up.

I think the only way I can see what the ketron transmits is to connect it to a p.c. sequencer, and see if it sends all the program & contol changes required to run a soundmodule using ketron styles. Module would have to be a very flexible, though .

Sorry, the reference to the keypad was for One Man Band realtime arranger system.
I've got 2 arrangers,
my Ketron keyboard,
& my OMB software system, which unfortunately at the moment is running using keyboard sounds instead of my softsynths.

best wishes
Rikki

From what I can gather, Receptor is like my Wersi Abacus in that if the sounds/Styles etc, are assigned to a button or preset, they are loaded into Ram at start up.
