I would have to say YES.., it really is that easy. Creating styles isn't as difficult as many seem to think, and Bert IMO showed how easily it can be done.

Are you going to be able to create styles as good as the presets? Most likely not, but that doesn't mean you cannot create really good sounding styles. You just have to LEARN how to use the keyboards style sequencer.

I see people commenting on how Bert just created ONE variation. Creating the next three variations of the first is not a difficult task. Keep in mind that there are features ALREADY BUILT INTO your arrangers designed specificually to simplify style creation, and speed up the process. You can create one variation and simply copy the parts of that one variation to the next and make changes to it. The ability to copy your parts is a HUGE time saver.

Don't like your timing, well tackle it with quantizing. Don't want it to sound "robotic".., just lower the quantize strength. You have trouble making the guitar tracks, well copy the guitar part from a preset style and BAM! it's done.

The tools are already there in your keyboard. You just have to learn how to use them. The most difficult part of style creation would likely be the fills, but it just takes a little practice to get those done.

IMO the biggest benefit of the style sequencers (if your board has it) is the ability to swap parts between styles, and copying previously recorded parts. Swapping parts saves you a lot of time because many styles have guitar/bass/chord/drum parts that cover most everything, and you can save some serious time using parts from other styles that would normally be difficult to play from the keys. Plus you can even spice up a style using a part from another style that you wouldn't normally consider using. The options are endless.

I suggest that if you really want to record your own styles.., dig out that manual, blow the dust off of it, and start reading You'll be surprised at what all you can do, and may not be aware of tools that are already in your arranger that are there to HELP you and make the job EASIER
