Well, finally I have been able to test some old styles from E86 in the Roland Prelude. Unfortunately, my fears have been verified. These styles do not sound as in the E86, especially guitars (much less subtle) and drums kits. I have tried to remplace the guitar voice, but without success at all. I have tried to reemplace also the drums kit by another of the available ones, but without success too. The style do not sound as well.
I do not understand why old yamaha styles sound well in the modern yamaya keyboards, and Roland cannot do it.
Another great disapointment has been playing styles from the usb. The keyboard does not permit to use styles directly from the usb (yamaha´s can do it..): they must be loaded first as user styles.
But styles must be in the usb "styles" folder, so you cannot to have subfolders in it.
Afterwards, Prelude load all existing styles from usb "styles" folder, you
cannot elect one or two.
So ,we must to be loading and disloading styles constantly in user area to test new styles.
And when user area is full (only 128 styles), you cannot load more...
Finally, it is very very slow in loading: some minutes to load 100 styles.
At the end, the procedure seems boring. And, for a Roland player as me, it is a pity to see that yamahas are a lot better in this area.
