This 'bugg'/error is NOT in the styles themsselves, but in the OS (how the Arranger handles the styles when the Fill is pressed).

The simple fix for Korg's PA issue is as thus...

* User presses fill (within a 4/4 style)
* Check for location within measure.
* If location falls around first beat - play full fill.
* If location falls around 2nd beat - play first 1/2 of arranger and last 1/2 of fill
* If location falls around 3rd beat - play first 3/4 of arranger and last 1/4 of fill OR just add CRASH (depends on how far into Arranger fill was pressed).
* If fill pressed approximately between beats, continue with Aranger up to next beat, THEN activate Fill/break, but surpress Midi notes for chords of fill/break until next beat (this is the SUGGESTED pseudo-code fix for this and the part currently not handled well on the Pa series)... just my suggestion(s).

Again, this is just pointing out a 'bugg' with a suggested fix, and we could also apply such to other manufacturers too (as has been done in the past).

With all that having being said, I still personally think the Korg Pa800/2Xpro is the most 'extensive Arranger' with generally the best 'orchestrated styles' currently in production as of 11/09/2008.
