I don't like to use OTS/STS etc...I think it tends to sound too fake...more like an arranger than a live band sound..

I like to keep the same players in my band or combo...

I prefer to use my basic user program (Roland speak)...Same bass player, same drummer, same piano player, same organ guy, same sax guy and the scat ready to go...I have these ready with the push of a part button...No surprises smile

This allows a more realistic band sound...

OTS selects such a wide variety of sounds ..it is like having a 30 member "Trio" grin

I always have a selected instrument in each family of sound..that is easily ready to select..again a single button push.

I also prefer the style players to be the same for each song...Some brands even screw things up with different bass players and other instruments, just by going to a variation within the same style (really stupid)..

Now I feel better!!!! smile
