So now playing along with "Audio Tracks" is accepted by the same purists nay sayers?...seems like something people have been doing with SMF and Mp3's, Audio, etc, for years already it was in inevitable as predicted.....
I wasn't impressed with this demo at all..

I'd love to hear some NEWER MUSIC Styles of today's music that the younger generation can possibly get excited about and would possibly buy and play an arranger KB instead of the same old tired style demos all the time..these kids don't want to hear Bossas & Rumba Flemenco!!! surprised

it sounds great but whoever else is playing in the background and talking is quite annoying really.

Good grief! Did you actually listen to this? He isn't playing along to an MP3, SMF etc.. This is style mode. Only the drum patterns are audio. And just as changeable as your regular MIDI arranger drum patterns.

I miss the old Donny. Back when you had the S910, you would be gushing all over this..!

Hi Spalding

Yes it can be irritating, but all manufactures that displayed would have the same problem, as customer’s mill around trying all the different instruments out.

However that’s the beauty of a festival in that you can try all the different manufactures instruments in one place, and make a real comparison to see what suits you best.

It's all the same no matter how you want to spin it Diki.....Audio backing is just that in what ever form it rears it's head style play or otherwise its just a different way of controlling it......this stuff is nothing new. Ok Kiddies get your pocket books ready, whistle .......after all its just about making money for these companies and this is just a new marketing technique way of doing just that... eek2

Hi DNJ

Have to go along with Diki on this one; playing along with Audio Drums is no different to you playing along with Midi Drums, (Which are included in styles from all manufactures) or do you always have the drums turned off when you play your keyboard.

So by your logic, Donny, controlling a style is identical to using an SMF... that's all styles are, little snippets of SMF's.

You need to think this through, mate.
