I know that there is a software version 2 that includes Lyrics on display, Is it true?

Hi! I own Prelude arranger.Two important features are missing, Write tone and play styles directly from USB stick. Hope these features are coming in version 3. Regards. Pertti
Has not used it yet, but it would be nice to press some keys đŸ™‚ in the future, after sales started.
I owned Roland Prelude and found effects are so nice near about to feel the real instruments, but I found one problem that it is not having tone bank to store different tones in its given numeric buttons. If possible kindly improve this facility to make it more better.
Thanks.
