Thanks very much AJ

I think what you are telling me is that I can accomplish what i want through combinations of style variations and registration settings. I think I understand that these combos could be used to initiate a passage that was out of time and for all practical purposes sounds like another tune all together. Having access to something like that - particularly a very rubato sounding part - is what i want - divorced from the prevailing beat and tempo of the song.

Do I have it right yet???????????lol

I am at a disadvantage since I have not been around a board that has this registration memory feature. I am starting to wonder if my needs might not be well met by the psr2000 or even the Solton SD1 instead of waiting for something like the new GEM Genysys which may well be a high priced item.

Thanks very kindly - here in Alaska it is difficult to try out new keyboards - so often I have to work out something with a dealer from the lower 48 to try it out and return it if it doesn't fit the bill. With trying to utilize an arranger in my music - I have even more research to do it seems. I needed to try and find out what the practical limits of arrangers are and whether or not the upper end units will fit with my playing styles.
