A few EK questions from potential buyer

Post by moontom »

hi...after years away from arrangers I'm debating between Kross and the EK 50 L. had a Kross years ago and liked it except for the menu-diving. the flow of the EK series looks a lot better, and from the video examples I'm impressed with the detailed drum/perc patterns. even via YouTube they sound good and feel like they'd be inspiring for songwriting/jamming.

how are the fills?
is there any way to adjust the swing feel of shuffle patterns?
how does the EK do following MIDI tempo from an external source (drum machine)?
is it possible to switch the drum kits or is the kit permanently linked to the pattern?

thanks in advance for any/all insights

You'll need to wait for others to respond to most of those questions, but I do know the Styles are not editable to change out kits other than adjusting Style "tempo", "volume", and turning on and off the "drum", "percussion", "bass", and "other parts" buttons

I guess I can't be surprised that the kits are "fixed" to the styles....still that's a shame.

thank you.
