No kidding - Fran likes Roland? Hmmm - whodathunkit?
I played 2 sets in this new split mode tonight, and it's not too bad. The bigest problem is this:
Yamaha makes better bass patterns than all the rest of their arranger parts, so when you shut off the auto bass .... the rest of the band is just so-so....almost unneccesary if you play a strong bass line to begin with.
I may experiment more with it to see if I can swap some nice string pads and sustained lines from other patterns.
For the most part - I'd just as soon play the bass, piano/strings, drums and sing as is ...... I only use the arranger when a bigger impact is needed. ( mostly R&R and Disco type dance stuff )
Playing bass with my RH would be like trying to throw a baseball Left Handed .... Never in a million years for me. I can handle the bass line OK, but the LH chords ..... no way on Gods Musical earth.
