Diki:
I think you are right about Yamaha. While they do offer a lot of Voice and Style tweeking it is not to the detail level of Korg or Roland. Yamaha know their market and that feature, while of value to some, is not at the top of the enhancement list. Their basic MIDI implementation is in the same category.

Well said Joe...the biggest disasters usually originate from trying to please
everybody.
It's no big secret that Yamaha's voice tweaking (editing) isn't to the level of some (Korg, for instance)...but, it works perfectly well for their market. Their people are more interested in great sounding,extremely expressive and playable voices, and brilliant styles, and perhaps, to a lesser extent, extra voices, rather than detailed tweaking to the nth degree.
Having the basic sounds already to a superb level of refinement, and the control over them working, again, for the intended user, also means less tweaking is ever needed.
Yamaha and Korg have been co-existing in this segment for a long time...I can't see either company changing what already works just fine for both.
