Good link Tony. Some may also know by the name Cakewalk, Sonar or Logic and there a number of other ones out there. Basically allows you to record MIDI or Audio data. You can record your whole performance at once on to a single track or the way we do which is one "track" at a time. For example, track 1 = Piano part. Track 2 = the bass line, Track 3 = Acoustic Guitar, Track 4 = Percussion, etc.
Curt: Why can’t arranger keyboards output individual tracks through usb. Yamaha has included this technology with modx and montage. This would allow overdubbing or replacing certain voices with vst’s or improve a mix for final release. If the technology is already in place (Yamaha), why not implement it.
A good question. I suspect no matter what features are/aren't included there is probably a pretty good chance we all will question why they did/didn't include that one killer feature that is important to us. Now, if you think outside of the box a little, it is possible, on some arrangers, to take a style and output it as a midi file. Once that is done, you can open that file with a DAW and modify it however you want. Next, save it and then import it back into your arranger. Doing that requires following a strict file format with various markers in the file that indicate part "A," "B," Intro, Ending, Fill - etc. Not for the faint of heart and a tedious process.
