Henni, I think you are reading more into Diki's post than what there is....

What I get from his last post...He is basically saying that although Audya is at the top with audio loops ..you can not have the flexability that midi drums offer (edits)...He was not favoring his keyboard..he even gave praise to the Korg..

As for being difficult editing drum patterns (midi)...it does have a learning curve, but easily done with on board tools (my experience with Roland )...Audio loops leave you with no edit options other than switching to midi ...

As for custom styles..I find no need for a large library..a half dozen is my choice...Yes we can definately find exsisting styles to use...

Again, some of the tricks Diki mentioned..using the intro endings to re-write as breaks...( a need on the G70)..

I don't think Diki is slamming the Audya...he asked about continuing Audya loops being available..and a few folks say they have been releasing new loops...

When you use the audio loops on the Audya, and switch to midi ...it is very noticeable..The audio drums spoil us..

There was a post by Tony ..wanting a pattern (style) that goes from latin to swing in different variations...Perfect senario for Diki's comments about editing with midi..Impossible with on board audio loops..
