I absolutely love my G-70 but when it comes to getting that live sound, my old Ketron XD3 module has it beat by a mile. I play both every weekend as both are backups of each other. And the crowd favors the ketron as far as quantity of people on dance floor. So which is better ? Whichever one gets me that next gig.....whichever is closest to sounding like the real deal... Like a band. Not to knock the tyros or Roland but drums on Audya don't get much better. And for a gigging musician.. wedding gig..etc.. I prefer ketron. For other musicians maybe korg is better. Whatever does the job best for your application. That's all

i'm still VERY curious to see what Roland comes out with next ;-)

Roland New ? Nothing in the top line.

AJ,

any brand new styles with 2.0?
if so, can you list them?

how many existing styles tweaked with 2.0?
which?
and for what reason?

maybe AJ is too busy creating the styles and he can't answer right now :-)

leezone

You are right - I am busy creating some of the new Dance, Latin, Caribbean and African Styles. These should give AUDYA a notch in the other parts of the world (or to those who play that style of music) - e.g. our friends in Portugal!

Once a fixed list becomes available, we'll post it on our website together with OS 2.0.

Thanks,

AJ

Thanks, AJ....

There one style that is very hard to find and difficult to create also. (Morna) style/genre from Cape verde, africa. Is that a style that will be created from Ketron?

If you need examples I can send it to you.

thanks again.

AJ,

please post demos of those new styles you created...

apparently FCMUSICA is busy creating styles of their own for Portuguese, African music

i believe they have created over 100 new styles which they will soon put up for sale

AJ,

May I ask in what country the Dance Styles were created for the SD5. I'm wondering if it's Italy as they really have a good handle on "basic" dance styles.

I'm also wondering if it's possible for you to listen to arranger keyboards from 10-20 years ago and duplicate what you hear on them. They were "basic" patterns but adorned enough not to sound "dry." I'm talking about patterns like Fox Trot, Big Band, all Latin styles. waltzes, French waltz's, Marches, Paso Dobles, 6/8 time Styles, etc.

If I'm correct there are many arranger players like myself who just want your basic styles dressed up enough to sound musical.

One thing that I have clearly noticed is every time new styles come out in a new keyboard, the creator tries to make them different and ends up making them too "complex" just to be different.

Sometimes "newer" in not always better!

Lucky
