If Ketron's plan is deliberately to obscure the details of this feature, they should be ashamed, and we should be concerned. If it is NOT deliberate, there should be no problem in posting the requested information or demos...

There's a complete difference between an audio loop of a guitar pattern and a MIDI part playing it (is your mention of this ignorance or just bloody mindedness?). My reservations (and others) about this feature are public knowledge. I think we deserve an explanation and a demo of it's capabilities before we show ANY interest in purchasing this arranger. Only a fool would consider this without investigating this brand new capability. No shortage of those, here, though!

And if Roland were to introduce this feature, and be as grudging to provide information about it in any form (and I knew there was little chance of me being able to try one out), trust me, I would be not one whit less persistent in trying to find out.

But I get your point... How DARE we ask questions of the manufacturers? What right as potential customers do we have to want to know how well they work before we pay for the product? We should just ASSume that everything works perfectly, after all, everything that anyone has ever made has always worked perfectly in the past, hasn't it..?

I should be ashamed... Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa
