I have been patiently waiting for Yamaha to add to their midi spec a way to change the style.

A look at the data sheet shows midi implementation for just about everything but that.

My idea is to effectively have more than 4 variaions by being able to automatically have a style changed by an external midi controller.

I currently have a behringer FCB1010 that is connected to a laptop. The laptop converts the midi messages to yamaha sysex messages. I use the controller for fills and break. But it would be great if I could also change the style.

I hope somebody at Yamaha is reading this. PLEASE add this spec in future models, perhaps even in firmware upgrades for current models such as Tyros2.
