Thing is, if the fill ALWAYS starts on the 'one', whether you cue it up or ask for it immediately, might as well always ask for it in the preceding bar... Unless you are talking about two or three beat fills, with the 'one' missing, that you have to hit on the 'two' or the 'three' to get them to work...
Oy veh! That has GOT to be a pain!
Yep!! Was no-where near as easy to do as on an arranger. If a user is happy with two variations only its sorta do-able...But as you know there are only 5 slots available...
If you want an intro and an end, as most would because I tell ya, fading out all the time gets REAL boring, that leaves three spots, two for your vars and then one for a fill..
Not much to work with is it
Not to mention loading up midi files for live use is a real pain as well...You have got to go through about 3-4 steps to load ONE file.
If they had released the S70 XS with basic arranger functions it would still be with me and I would have dealt with the MIDI issue.
But Yamaha's claim that the S70 XS was a "Live Gigging" keyboard are quite exaggerated in my view.
Its essentially a "cut-down" Motif, which Yammie wiht a weighted (beautiful!!! to play) keybed.
