Hi Diki,
couldn't agree more. If they had this function ( plus good style creation/editing functions) less need to upgrade as often. Add a new sound module instead to give the arranger a better variety or quality sound.

The fact that you can push buttons manually on most sound modules is handy, but I would imagine could be awkward in a live situation?

Luv the way you can actually set the PA800's single touch setting to call up the correct sounds be they, internal or external. The module and keyboard act like one.

My PSR or Ketron doesn't do what the Korg does.

Do the Rolands?
For some reason in the back of my mind I thought that maybe my old G800 had the option of internal or external sounds, but I can't remember if it could send any type of msb, lsb, pc codes.
The bank changes are so important nowadays.

best wishes
Rikki

At the very least, any arranger (at least mid-line and up) should be able to direct ANY Part, Keyboard Style or SMF to either Internal or External MIDI, and allow ANY kind of MSB, LSB PC# codes, even if the Internals don't need it. You shouldn't have to restrict your choice of externals by whether you can MANUALLY call up the sounds or not... Sheesh! How 20th century!!
