It is not a question of performing in public with internal factory styles. That is what arranger keyboards are made for. The issue would be making edits to those styles and them selling them as new styles or converting them to another brand�s format and selling them or giving them away. If you are sharing edited factory styles amongst others who purchased the same model keyboard, no problem because all parties have licensing via the purchase of the keyboard to use those styles.

Someone mentioned the style converter programs that are available. The only way this is really legal is if you actually own the various brands of keyboards you are converting to and from and the conversions are for your personal use.

Basically, this discussion with all its variables could go on and on for quite a while.
Suffice it to say; just think about what you are doing before you give away someone else�s hard work.
