I, personally, think BIAB works very well with the Pa80. I just connect the Midi cables and it runs the Pa80 just fine. I know that AJ doesn't like them a lot because he feels they sound too canned, too slick.

There are virtually no Pa80 third party styles because, apparently, they are relatively too hard to do well and Korg does not seem very interested in helping people with the information required to do it. I don't personally know enough to make styles so this is all just observation from sitting on the sidelines and seeing what happens (or, in this case, what doesn't happen).

The only place you can find very many Pa80 styles is Fabio's site, and they are all conversions from other keyboards rather than original, done on the Pa80 styles.

One other possibility; the Pa80 will read (load) I30 styles, so it is possible to load them in and then save them back out as Pa80 format but you may have to do some internal editing to get them to sound the way you want.

All of the above is why I'm seriously considering adding a Tyros to go with my Pa80 and having the best of two worlds.
