I've been digging the PSRS950 a bunch. I like using the guitar strum offered with the multipads with styles.


I've no complaints with the all midi styles in my Tyros4, although I tend to heavily edit them to suit my manner of play. The biggest advance, in my opinion, and in regards to Yamaha's styles, was the introduction of Mega Voices in the style engine...and, with the Tyros4, one can also use SA/SA2 voices in the styles...pretty cool, and very realistic sounding. Also, the style engine has been recently updated and offers even more realistic guitar strums and arpeggios.

As far as Yamaha's audio drum based styles (Tyros5 and S950), I have mixed feelings, mainly due to their very limited editing and restricted sharing/storing of said edited styles.

I can work with the midi based drum kits much better, but I do see the attraction of the audio based styles, especially in the Audya.
