Genesys . There is no contradiction in people wanting the ability to edit a style or create a style even if they cant do it very well. They simply dont want to be locked into an instrument that dictates the tight limitations of what can be done with it. You may wish to make patchwork music by copying one piece of audio into a track (once the Audya developes ability in a future OS or using the MS Qranger technology). But try making music other than 1 or 2 chord dance music with tasty chord changes and see what you get? The Audya basically gives you a set of styles and thats all you have got at this point.Noone is calling anyone a Dummy if they cant make styles very well. The whole argument is that it takes skill to make great styles. The Media station gives you mediocre styles that you can completely recreate , however most people would completely re creat more mediocre styles :-)If you had the skill this instrument would be an incredible creative tool. But it takes great skill. However as an arranger , something used live and probably used as an instrument that a musicians livelihood depends upon, it seems to have major limitations in live play and if it locked up in a live performance and needed to be rebooted ,could cost a musician their job. (Thats what i meant about being horified that a fellow musician would knowingly let/encourage working musicians to invest their hard earned money in a product that could lose them work Fran). This is an arranger forum and the people interested in the product for the most part are arranger musicians. The product is promoted as an arranger workstation but the thing it does not do well is work as efficiently as any $600 entry level arranger would.
