Nice try, Ian, but way off the mark... I use registrations for EVERYTHING, and see no problem with Roland's implementation of it at all. However, I HAVE read of quite a few here that tend to go 'old school' when it comes to sound and style selection. The point I was trying to make (and you were trying to ignore) is that there are ALWAYS features that few use. Should they ALL be dropped?
I wasn't saying you didn't use them Diki...I expected that
you did....I was merely pointing out that the UPG were less than satisfactory (requiring workarounds) for some Roland users.
Those that go "old school" here on the forum? I can't recall very many here doing such a thing...
most, if not all, Yamaha users on this forum use registration memories.
I certainly hope that Roland's registration memories aren't dropped like the Chord Sequencer...next thing you know, they'll want to get rid of the keyboard...oh, wait, I think they have...now you have to provide your own...Ha Ha! Of course, that might be a good thing.
From what I understand, registration memories are the most used feature on any arranger...I doubt very much if they'll ever be dropped.
I suspect
if the chord sequencer was being used by even a
moderate amount of players, Roland's marketing research would have caught that and it just might have been kept on...but, again, I also feel that the increased use of SMF (something Roland heartily promoted and encouraged) helped with it's demise.
In any case, it's water under the bridge now...let's just hope Korg's use of it isn't as brief as Roland's.
