I totally agree with this...the Motif has iPad Apps that let you do sound design off of the keyboard. I have PC tools for the Korg Kronos that also let you do sound design on the PC. Yamaha has Voice design for the Tyros 4 with a PC application as well. They just need to bulk it up a bit. Most arranger players would not get this deep into the sound engine, i'm afraid.

All that is needed is a file format that would allow the computer to read the styles, Performances, Voice data, Sampler data, etc., and then you could get into the nitty gritty without making the arranger itself over-complex.

I am pretty sure that most pro's that wanted all this degree of control would be willing to pony up a couple of hundred dollars or so for it, so there would be no need to raise the base price of the Tyros for features few would use.

And, let's face it... SOMEWHERE there must already be these kind of software tools floating around, because SOMEONE designs the voices, creates the Styles, edits the sounds, and does all the detail work YOU can't currently access. Converting it for public access would not be half the task of creating it from scratch.
