Well, seeing as Rikki was the one posting with the most experience with editing and style creation on a Ketron, perhaps you might have paid more attention? If you have issues with someone criticizing Ketron's editing capabilities, why not question the person who HAD ONE, rather than one merely repeating the facts? Sorry if I took your response the wrong way, but it seems more a rebuttal that a genuine desire to find out. If you wish to learn more about the Roland's editing, rather than ask me to post about it, why not do what I did for the Audya and SD-1... download the manual, and read it for yourself? To describe in detail what can be done with Roland's editing tools is a very extensive article...
To boil it down to a nutshell (there's mixing metaphors for you!), Roland's style editing and sequence editing is COMPREHENSIVE. Just about anything you could ever want to try, you can do it. In the E50 all the way up to the G70/E80. No external software needed. Only a powerhouse computer sequencer like Cubase offers more editing for a sequence (but none for a style). It has graphical, easy to read displays, makes the most of touch screen technology, and is pretty intuitive, if you have ANY editing experience.
Ketron's, for anything more complex than editing the headers on a track, are a joke, especially at the inflated price point of an Audya. Currently, a non-existent joke. But in the future, with OS3 (maybe) they will in all probability be the same joke that the SD-1 is. And this isn't MY opinion. It is the opinion of anyone that HAS posted here to talk about Ketron's editing capabilities.
Look, if you don't actually NEED any style editing capabilities, have at it. No skin off my nose! But maybe, one day, you might need to move a snare hit or kick pattern to match a song you want to do. Maybe you'd prefer bongos instead of congas on a style. Maybe you'd like to change the pocket of a shaker sound. Maybe you get a translated style that didn't get all the chords right...
Maybe you could let US know exactly what you would need a style editor to do...?
Diki... I demonstrated the SD1 at NAMM shows for 2 1/2 years. I also was an authorized Roland dealer for 3 years. I was selling Roland arranger keyboards in 1996. I was selling Yamaha arrangers in 1988.
I created a video for the X1. So, I know Ketron products and I need no one's opinion.
I asked a simple question. How do you change sounds, volumne levels, effects in real time ?
If you have to put it in a sequencer, than to me, Roland does not have user friendly edit capabilities.
I'm not going to piss any more with you Diki.
