Well if you ignore me and listen to Nedim, the Audya's guitar loops work PERFECTLY, play any chord, no problem...

But I AM looking forward to your posting some Latin style demos once you get the MS (still going off half-cocked BEFORE you even get the thing, eh? ).

BTW, you know ANYONE with a computer setup that can equal a TOTL arranger for functionality, sound and style variation? Because, if that's what the MS is, the bar isn't really that high, is it? AFAIK, no-one for quite a while (if at all) has ever posted a STYLE demo on SZ that was all done in software that even came CLOSE to a T3 or PA2Xpro. I mean software player, software sounds, all triggered live from a controller.

The range of musics that arrangers are called upon to perform is HUGE... Leezone needs Latin, many here would need bigband and oldies, some would need alternative, or reggae, or disco/trance/techno, some would want rap and hiphop. A REAL arranger from a real arranger maker has plenty of just about everything in it already to go. Or there is a pretty good backlog of 3rd party styles to cover that (though they seldom equal the ROM styles).

But try the MS out, Lee.... I'd love to hear an honest assessment about how long it would take anybody to get one ready to gig on if it were your sole keyboard.

Plan to gig with yours, Nedim? By itself? It'll be fascinating to hear how well that works out for you...
