Why are the Yamaha Styles so sub-par when compared to Korg and Technics is beyond human comprehension.

Yamaha hirer some better style programers please!!!!!!!! Extremely boring 4 bar loops used for the rhythm even on many of the supposedly Big Band arrangements. Except for the very good intros and endings they really are lame. In other words after the intros the rhythm section falls flat on it's face is the way we would say it in real human band or combo terminology.

Korg please please improve the over-all-tone quality (sounds) of the problem horns and Pianos please!!!!!!! And really the sequencer should be compatible with prior Korg arrangers. Who wants to have to go through the ordeal of re-sequencing every tune. If you're not concerned with us who use the sequencer, why even put one on the arranger. Just leave it off if you're going to continue to make it incompatible with a prior Korg arranger. A different sequencer is useless to me, a horn player trying to convert to being a combo horn player plus a keyboard performer.

Wow others are finally beginning to see what I've said for the past two years.

If you use just the drums on an arranger of course you won't notice the lame styles. If you use the styles, it has to be impossible for you not to notice how weak some of them are.

How one can be so dogmatic about the high and low resolutions and not be bothered by the lame styles is mind boggling to me.

Sorry to step on toes here, but the facts are the facts. I can only say it must be because many here have not played with really swing rhythm sections. I'm talking bass, drums, piano, and guitar for the rhythm section.

I mean this in a constructive way not trying to insult anyone. Facts are facts. I've always played with live musicians this arranger stuff is relatively new to me. In my day arrangers were toys I assume, if they even had any.

I'm not picking on anyone. I just want improvements like the rest of you. Our needs all differ.
