And don't get me started about the 24 of them (and a swell pedal) lurking under a B3..! And, if the things you go through in arranger mode end up with you being able to do the song the same as the SMF (but with all the extra control and options that arranger mode allows), what's the difference..? Perhaps you are basing it being 'clunky' because you haven't tried some of these workarounds? As I said originally, trying to pull off a mid-song pause without this tip IS a nightmare of button pushes and playing. Clunky as hell! But program this, and it's a piece of cake. _________________________ An arranger is just a tool. What matters is what you build with it..!

Let's also throw in Lead singing the song while playing also, being a back up player is a bit different.... we all play different, I'm just not a pedal guy never was....

I have looked at foot controllers, but the only one I know will work is Yamaha's, and it is too big, heavy and expensive. I could get by with just three pedals if needed, but two is not quite enough since I got spoiled by Roland and Korg. DonM _________________________ DonM

Some, such as Old Time Rock $ Roll, Hot Hot Hot, etc...,have a segment where nothing other than the drums are playing, while you continue to sing. The style's default break usually works fine for the first group, while the second group merely requires hitting a single button, the Accompaniment On/Off. The secret is to hit this button twice. Then, when you want to get out of that mode, hit a fill and press a chord with your left hand. Piece of cake.
