In a way, you can use Intros as 'one shot' vamps, and as a substitute for the 'Riff' capability (but with your own pattern and chords rather than the preset ones). Make them long enough (16 bars, perhaps) and you don't find yourself having to rehit the button too often (pretend you are making a fill call if you want it to repeat).

Another use for unused Intros is extra Break/Fills if you make them one or two bars long.

In the same vein, you can use Endings as mid-song pauses, complete with ritardandos.

i want it to STAY on the "INTRO" till I get it out.

i want it to act like or rather, BE another Arr. part E, F,

AJ,

can it happen now,
if not, can YOU make it happen ?

I don't think that's going to happen if the Audya has a similarly designed accompaniment engine to other arrangers.

Best to do the work-around suggested, unless AJ has other ideas.

I doubt that enough people would use it to make them take an upgrade seriously. We have 4 variations, 4 fills, 4 breaks, 3 intros and 3 endings per style now. However I do see your point. More would be even better!

It seems such a minor thing to add an optional 'repeat' tag to the Intros in their Style Editor, that almost ANY arranger would be better with it. It would not disrupt NORMAL use, but vastly increase possibilities for those that want to customize their instrument.

There are SO MANY of these little things, things that a simply OS change could make possible, that get ignored by the manufacturers while they spend a fortune developing 'me too' features and sounds. And, mostly, we encourage them by never bemoaning these capabilities' lack...

I, for one, would LOVE to be able to determine whether each Part is in root position or played inversion, to be able to mix it up. Nothing worse than, if the bass player is in root, EVERY OTHER Part HAS to be in root, too. Real players don't do that.

Diki agrees with me, YES !!!

sorry i did not post in Ketron Forum,

AJ, please look into this,

man... having 6 usable Arranger Parts would be AWESOME !!!
talk about customization & variety within a style

A function like this would benefit any of us, Lee, and discussing it here seems to be appropriate. The minutiae of arcane Audya operation, perhaps not so much!

Many of the things you like I posted about ages ago on the old G70 Users Forum (and some of it at Roland-arranger.com). I feel that there is MUCH that seems to me obvious needs in basic arranger operation and workflow get completely ignored by the majors, while they concentrate on the latest SA Kazoo sound or yet another mp3 playback feature.

AJ,

any idea if this can or will ever be implemented ?

i need 6 Variations
