Thanks for the info fellows......

Steve,

So let me understand something. If I try to play the PA3x the way I play my old arranger (just hit different styles and the instrument volumes do not change)......then on the PA3x I would, every time I change a style, have to adjust the track volumes for each instrument. As it is now, every time I change a style, slider/voice 1 goes quiet and I physically have to raise it up to an audible volume. In fact, I have to do that with all the sliders. Is that what happens if you don't use songbook.

Then the answer is to use "songbook".......set up a generic patch with all the instrument volumes in line with each other? Name them something like....."1940 medium ballad" or "cha-cha version 1" or "cha-cha version 2" or "Strauss type waltz".....etc. Then I would really only need about a dozen patches? Is this correct?
