Now - according to Mart..you can record a user style accompaniment of up to 64 measures. Now I am assuming you can do that for just one of the variations - which theoretically should let you use a long prerecorded sequence (as long as you don't trigger a restart of that accompaniment by striking something below the split point).
I think I understand your point about recording the whole thing to the hard drive on the Solton - HOWEVER - my goal is to have access to just certain prerecorded passages in my music simultaneous with full arranger play - and specifically to trigger them when the mood strikes - not when the sequencer tells me its time. In my music - which isn't groove or dance music - I often want a passage which may be out of time - or very rubato - an interlude or intro - and to embellish it with a synth pad, string or brass passage that is independant from the chord changes. I realize this is somewhat of a departure from normal arr. use - but I really want to try it and think I'm getting there
