Well Scott, my experience with Korg has been that they respond very well sometimes, and at other times not so well. No worse than the other major companies I suspect though. Hey we could bug 'em about it and see what happens, because if they come up with a successor to the PA80 and it includes the features I spoke of in my last post ( and better style fills ), it's a pretty good bet that I will get one.

Now you're talking Bob. I like doing the same thing ( not when playing live of course ). I don't have a Yamaha board anymore, but I have XG works which alows creation via chords and Yamaha styles in step time, and I have most of the conversions available for the PA80. It's pretty cool to be able to mix and match parts from different styles. It's a breeze to do in the PA80, and in XG works too. Add a cool drum part made by Jammer pro or a "handmade" drum piece from a hybrid tracker program like Midi tracker or Pump sequencer and I have a lot of options when creating stuff to play to.
