I'm talking about the fact that the STYLES use these kits! If you don't have the equivalent of the kits in memory, some of those styles are going to sound dead funny. The more percussion sounds in memory, the more the layout and the sound is going to be messed up when you don't have it. Not to mention, piccolo snares vs. fat, dead 70's ones, etc., etc.. Unless you are willing to re-voice every style you have, having an equivalent of the ROM style is going to be needed.

C'mon, guys! I don't hear anyone complaining 'there's TOO MANY kits in my PA3X (Tyros, whatever)!'. In fact many of these kits are what make the difference between a humdrum style and something that either approaches the record 'sound' or rocks in its own right. And now, to bring them over to a computer/VSTi system, you want even LESS?

I'm sorry but I see this as a giant step backwards...

Maybe, if having just a couple of GREAT kits is all you guys need, how about letting Korg, or Yamaha and Roland know this? Think of how good they could make their drumkits if all the memory for 40-50+ kits was used to make just one or two GOOD ones!

Mind you, think about how boring having ALL the styles just use this tiny few would make them.
