Bernie, I've never had a "piece" of factory style disappear, and I'm not quite sure how that could happen, but if you do a pattern copy to memory A, you can bring up the composer and investigate the style. Maybe the sound level was lowered for the particular instrument in sound memory, and you will have to raise it. Technics has peculiar tastes sometimes for blending sounds and maybe that's all it is. In any case, you can add or delete any of the parts you desire, or simply enhance the sounds, especially those from sound memory. Composer is a valuable and versatile tool for restoring or building your preferred sound and everyone should attempt to learn the functions of this tool at some point. If you were planning to use this style for a recording or to simply change it more to your liking, then use the composer, save your results to disk and just use your version. Save all your panel memories to disk and restore factory settings, although I don't think the presets are restorable. If the part is still missing the instrumentation, then there is another problem and Technics will have to solve that one.
