"All I Want"

Well, I unpacked my BK7m today with Fran and we put it through a few paces. It have some wonderful stuff in it, but I really have just a few simple things I need it to do .... hence the JM reference:

All I want is to be able to set up a few (2 would be fine) performances:

1. manual bass - needs to play the Nord in the Right hand, the Roland bass in the left, have access to the drum styles (no accompaniment) and mostly, REMEMBER all the little quirky global setting I set.

2. auto accompaniment - I want the Roland to do the LH work, have access to the RH sounds too (they can be turned on/off easily) still using the Nord with an expression pedal.

Now, you'd think this was all pretty easy to set up, but so far, it's bee confusing. I THINK it can do all I want, but each time I write a performance, something is missing .... I've had almost all of what I want at one time or another, but through experimentation, I still haven't gotten the 2 "bread & butter" performances I need.

I haven't tried it in split mode from the Nord yet - so far I let the Roland set up the splits .... I'll stay at it, but I expect to like it.

It's not the friendliest, fastest learning curve in town, but it certainly has possibilities!
