Just to add some words, when we mention speed of accessing sounds and styles, what exactly are we refering to?

Most high-end arrangers today operate on the following idea.

* Voice group buttons - push one e.g. Piano and the screen displays a bunch of individual pianos. Push one of the buttons on the side to select/activate that voice of choise OR move to page 2, 3 ... and select.

* Style group buttons - push one e.g. Latin and the screen displays a bunch of individual styles within the selected group. Push one of the buttons on the side to select/activate that style of choise OR move to page 2, 3 ... and select.

** Registration/Pannel Memory/Pannel Settings (One Touch/Touch to Style ...etc). These are all various ways to store and instantly retrieve keyboard settings for live performance. Ofcourse the storing is done at home and the retreival on stage/live. Terminology depends on what keyboard you get!

The questions is, once accessed how fast/slow does it load up/ready for use? From one manufacturer to another, pretty much the same.

Thanks,

PS: Now some manufacturers have some tools used to better access styles for certain songs based on what THEY think is best - ofcourse these settings can be edited (e.g. Music Finder). Pretty cool!
