Thank you Frank great job...sounds great.
some very useful stuff there for sure!!

Frank, looks like you're having some fun with the Audya. The Latin styles are sounding good. BTW, it's never too young to get your children started on the arranger.

The first time you hear these, you might go 'wow, that's cool'... Trouble is, of course, there's ONE for the style. FOREVER. Every time you use this feature, this is what you will get. FOREVER. No different chords, changes, rhythms, variations, anything....

I'm sorry, but allowing the user to program the changes in themselves would have been a MUCH more useful feature, pick the variation, that sort of thing. Heck, why stop there? Just let the user PLAY the changes one time and hit 'Loop'...

BTW, can you mute Parts out of JUST the Riff? Some of those sounded awfully busy to solo over the top of...

I'm sorry, but this feature comes tantalizingly close to being useful, but falls flat on it's face just before the finish line, IMO. Perhaps it could be made more useful by allowing you (once the style editing functions ever arrive) to create your OWN Riffs, but I never heard that was possible on the SD-1 (am I wrong?).

To be honest, you could do the same thing on any arranger by programming one of the Intros and just keep tapping the button to repeat it. I just don't get it. Roland have dropped the Chord Sequencer, so there's no 'me too' factor or patent to worry about. Why not just copy what Roland did, and call it 'Super Riff' or whatever?

And turn a gimmick that will tire quickly into a useful live tool?

I love the feature, when I need to take another drink of my vino, I hit riff and get my drink on

Hi Frank,
I get LOUSY playback because of my inferior wireless internet connection, so had to give up trying to play the demo.

Can I ask a couple of questions, as I haven't got a clue what a riff is, my SD1+ didn't have that function. I beleive it was introduced on the sd5.

Firstly does riff play instead of a variation?? ie is it a complete style part, not just a single style track?

Are they designed for you to play along with, or is it more of a solo feature, to give the player a break. ie some of my very old Technics Americana styles ( I think it was) had solo style parts that were designed to play a solo while the player sat back & twiddled their thumbs ( I luved them as they were better than I could have played haahaa)

I just found Diki's comment on maybe being able to do something similar with an intro , interesting. Always looking for new style ideas to try out on my Korg.

best wishes
Rikki
