John the lack of "EASY" flexible editing regarding interchangeability within styles, variations, Intro/Endings parts has always been something that holds a player back from his creative juices flowing to the best of his/her ability to really make an arranger their own. Each company just gives you a mere few features to wet your whistle but always omits a few so you always need more. IMO Roland has the most to offer regarding this, eg: makeup tools are the best Ive used so far,easy & precise. Style are the engine of an arranger and being able to manipulate & FULLY Edit them in any way possible to achieve your goals is a major factor that needs to be addressed & included in future units.
Cut, paste, record style parts in an on-board simpler fashion needs to be added with FULL DVD instructional volumes in all levels. Otherwise its business as usual, bad manuals, lack of players needs, and buying & selling year after year.
