Pa900 - Update Fill-Buttons / Fill-Mode

[siebenhirter]

Hello,
when the successor Pa900 was presented with less functions as its predecessors Pa800, I imagined that the features Fingered3, Fill buttons and Fill mode would be retrofitted in updates over time.

I decided not to buy a Pa900 until updates would fix that shortcomings - similar as that happens with Pa4x, where Fill mode was retrofitted meanwhile.

Pa900 meanwhile only is retrofitted with Fingered3, but still the features Fill-mode and Fill-buttons are missing, which were present in the predecessor.

Fill buttons simply would be realized by adding auto fill button with a third status (flashing), in which case variation buttons would work as fill buttons, triggering an individually selectable fill-in to be continued to the variation set with fill-mode (to be implemented).

As soon as there are no fill-buttons and no fill-mode to be as flexible as with Pa800 there is no reason to decide to buy a Pa900 as successor.

Actually a pity, because an update is not a big thing as you could see the Pa4x - hope an update also will happen with Pa900 - think it is necessary.

PS: and of course also the StylePreferences should not be stored globally, but individually via STS, Performance. But even with the Pa4x does not seem to be updated or not to be willing to update to the level of predecessors.

Thanks for the tip, i know the techniques how to use fills with Pa900, but it really is not the same as with Fill-buttons and Fill-Mode of predecessors.

Using Fill-Ins requires a simple direct access to a single-press button - under time-critical terms to press combinations of buttons at the same time is no satisfying solution.

Next to Fill-Buttons also Fill-Mode is missing, where preprogrammed parameters of predecessors are used to set variation to be automatically selected at the end of a fill - means to be an individual controlled course as well was done with that single-press and were saved individual for each performance or style.

A solution for Pa900 would be a "blinking" function of autofill-button for acting var-buttons als fill-buttons with fill-mode-function as we had almost (Pa3x, Pa800, Pa500 ...).

Using styleplayers of the predecessors we were much more flexible and would be necessary to update the Pa900 to allow same flexibility, which is necessary in case playing title-related songs
