When playing with the arranger can you search and then select a midi file to play without effecting what arranger has been playing?

I know the Tyros will allow you to serach and select a midi file while playing an arranger and not effect anything

The SD-1 will not

Also when a midi file is playing, can you select a performance set-up and not effect the midi playback?

thanks

Frankie,
That's actually one saving grace that the 2100 has going for it in my setup. I used to hate not being able to plan the next tune while playing in a different format. I suspect that it may be similar to the PA series though. Let's wait and see !

Frankieve,

I think it is possible (I'm not 100% sure though) The PA1Xpro has two separate sequencers and you can use/play seq-A while looking for another song on seq-B.

I expect the same for using styles.

And ...... be honest... who wants to use midi's on stage with an SD1 ?

Roel

I feel midi files are the end result of song done on a arranger saved and played back later.

anyway, i don't think the pa80 could do it but the tyros could, unfortuntaley i am spoiled with the sd1 and am looking at the korg, but if it is set up like the sd1, i probably will wait for a roland or soemthing

I expect very few people will leave Ketron SD1 for the new PA1XPro.
I'm spoiled too and tried the PA1Xpro for several hours.... I'll stay loyal to Ketron for sure !

The dual sequencers will, in fact let you set up SEQ#2 while playing SEQ#1, but until someone confirms it .... I doubt that the styles can be accessed during SEQ mode. It hasn't been possible so far in the PA series.

Your right Uncle Dave, but I think almost all of the boards allow you to pick the next song as one is playing,

So is the Tyros the only one that has the ability

So my real question would be, what is the closest back up for the SD1

Another SD1?

except another sd1

So I guess the Pa1X PRO can NOT do what you want??? JJ has not bothered to answer your post and he is one of only about 2 people on the planet that own the Pa1X PRO at the present. He would be the one to know whether it can or can't. I guess all the information on the Korg PA site about the Pa1X PRO doesn't mention it huh?

JJ, where are you when we need you? The gentleman has a question about the Pa1X PRO for you... ^.

The Pa1X PRO would be a new contender to supplement the SD1 if it does what you want it to do. I think you may find the Yamaha PSR 9000 PRO a worthy contender too. You want 76 Keys, right? Both the Pa1X PRO and PSR 9000 PRO have 76 Keys. The Tyros has 61 Keys.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I'm here ..
I'm not sure good understand when you said "has not bothered to answer your post ..." I hope it is humour ?

Best Frankieve,

Excuse me that I not respond faster on your answer but I'm not in line all day and all night long with Synthzone...
So I want to confirm that what UD said before is right, ...so far that I know,
I'll tell you more later, because for the moment it is here in Belgium 4 o'clock..
Greetings,
JJ

It was humour JJ. Didn't you notice my 'smilie'?

Best regards,
Mike

there was no rush, i figured if any one they could let me know, I'm not mad,

currently i have the sd1 and the tyros.

the tyros is great for the op system but alot of the styles seem to lack the realism that the sd1 has, and seems a little thin in the overall sound, not thin bad but thin different then what I am used to on the sd1.

and the styles seemed to be geared in a different diretions as the sd1, korg and roland are.

Does anybody know where top notch styles can be had for the Tyros?

Here you go. You will need to scroll down the page to get to the Yamaha "Power Styles". Power_Styles

Here is another site you may be interested in. The Styles are rather expensive though.
