I've been following his videos for a while now and I really like how he presents them. Yes, he's getting up in the world. He recently was invited to the Roland UK event announcing the new Fantom. Got a free plane ticket and hotel too I believe. That's the power of YouTube. Originally Posted By DannyUK One thing that nobody has been able to explain yet are the drums, what exactly are they if they are not Genos drums. He quickly skipped past that topic because perhaps he didn't quite know himself. My understanding is that the drums are the same samples as in the Genos. But the SX900 does not have the wave cycling so they are not considered "Revo."

The amount of time a player needs to see the screen is a few seconds when they select a song - after that, your eyes should be on the audience. Tilt and touch screen displays are meaningless for me.

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43707	I love tilt displays a very useful feature in many situations.. loved it on all my arrangers that had it. what I don't feel is necessary is a chord sequencer. Edited by Dnj (10/08/19 12:17 PM)

We It also had double lenght compared to KN800, so that was like be in heaven when edit all the 'stars and dots' in composer/sequenser. Really nice that technology goes forward, but I'll never forget all the wonderful 'Technics years' with lots of joy and fun. 😊 _________________________ Cheers 🥂 GJ _______________________________________________ "Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you."

I tried it with the screen down and can't read a thing due to glare. Not moving it, and not closing blinds except at night. If I didn't have tilt I would maybe make one of those Gary Diamond sun shields.. _________________________ The older I get, the better I was..
