Hi,
it would be a great concept, but I doubt they'd do it.

Wouldn't something like that cut back on their keyboard sales? Basically how much will a user be willing to pay for a piece of software?

We've got software like One Man Band & Livestyler, only thing holding them back is that they don't have a soundsource 100% compatible for the "psr styles" that they're capable of playing.
I bought a Ketron SD2 soundmodule to try & use with OMB software, psr styles need a fair bit of editing to sound any good with it.

I'm thinking of giving an XG soundfont another go as a soundsource. This time in a V Machine instead of the laptop itself.
Be interesting to see if it works.
James (IrishActs), thank you for offering to try loading a soundfont for me, won't be neccesary, I ended up buying a secondhand v machine on Ebay for less than half price, all but brand new. Couldn't resist, just waiting for it to arrive.

I still think it's a pity the main manufacturers have stopped making arranger modules. I've had all the Rolands, the Korg, even a Technics. Plus I used to own a QY700. Sorry I sold it, many years ago.

best wishes
Rikki
