No, you're not wrong. The styles suck as far as I'm concerned. The features are great, the sounds are average to good (pianos are very good), the styles are stuck in the last century. The module is probably ok for nursing homes, but little else.

So....I'm thinking even if ALL the styles are no good, what would be the drawback to just loading in favorite Roland styles from my past arranger keyboards. Wouldn't that be a good reason for buying it? To have ALL my styles on one machine? And have the ones I know I like instead of using the onboard styles?

Are my missing something here? No one is is talking about "it's worth the money to have a machine where they can use their own styles." And......have all the added features to work with (sounds, MIDI file playback, etc).

Seriously, are my missing something before I do something stupid like go and spend a thousand dollars out of my Korg Kronos purchase money?
