Hi AJ,
actually Technics had 2 instrument tracks per pad, & in pads 5 & 6 it had a chord progression track which controlled the style & pad, and gave you a 4,8 etc bar solo. It was pretty amazing.

No doubt I'll get used to the way the Yammie pads work, maybe my timing will improve too, ( quicker on the trigger finger haa haa) once I get used to the layout of the keyboard.

No need to apologize for not responding on the "making styles" group. We actually discussed it on this forum instead.
Appreciate the fact you uploaded your pads for members to use.

I sincerely hope you reconsider leaving synthzone. I for one, would really miss your input. You have been a great help to me over the past few years getting my softsynth/arranger setup worked out.

Maybe your Topic "Multipads" didn't give enough detail about what you were hoping to discuss.
I usually try & cram as much detail into the Topic line as I can. Members are no doubt busy at times & may not have time to read all the posts ( I know I don't), so I usually give the more cryptic topic lines a miss. It wasn't so much the topic
"Multipads", that caught my attention, but the fact that you wrote the post.

Just a thought.

I sincerely hope that the above may be one of the reasons for lack of response to your post, & that the forum hasn't degenerated to the exent that members are only interested in topics that cause squabbles.

best wishes
Rikki

I agree that the System for turning on and off the pads isn't the best. While I would not prefer the Technics system if I am understanding it correctly ( sometimes I like more than one phrase at a a time ).

It's usable but not that convenient on the T2 ... rather tough to have to press two buttons simultaneously so I turn one off and keep a second one going while I'm playing in real time.

I seem to recall having timing issues with my PSR2000 similar to what you describe with the 1500, but the T2's pads seem to catch up right at the beginning of the measure I play them in, or perhaps maybe my timing has gotten a little better.

My thanks to you for giving me feedback on this stuff Rikki. Let me also send my sincere apologies that I haven't responded to you ( yet ) on this stuff at your style making group. I've been busier than I expected to be the last few days.


I had hoped that I'd get a little more help here with this stuff, this being a General arranger forum and all, but sadly it was not to be. Kind of ironic when we can have 250 posts of arguing over a keyboard that cannot defend itself. As I no longer feel that I have anything to contribute to this particular group, and I don't see anything related to my own interests, which consist mainly of trying to learn more about what I already have to play on and perhaps make it even better, rather than fretting over what someone else has or what might be coming out next year, Nigel I would ask at this time that you delete my account at your convenience.

AJ
