I listened to the Peter Solley styles. I ordered one, but it hasn't come via email yet. The site states that the styles have 2 intros, 2 endings, 4 variations, and 4 fills. Very good. Listening to the midis and checking the voices, the default piano voice is the Live! Piano, and the Cool! Jazz Guitar and Cool! electric guitars appear, so the styles were made on the PSR9000 Pro or Tyros. The styles don't sound as good as Yamaha styles, but some sound very good. If I like the one I purchased, I'll probably purchase another 4 or 5.
Hi, actually the style assembly feature on the yamaha 9000pro is pretty handy for creating new styles. I also have a similar feature on the kn7000. The only problem I found, is that a lot of the styles use the same phrases ie it uses the same bassline in 2 or 3 of the variations, so you keep dialing up the same parts. At the moment I'm going thru the whacky process of identifying the individual style parts and cataloging them for my kn7. In short, if I'm looking for a string part, it will save me scrolling through piano's brass etc , I'll know which style parts are strings. Hopefully will take help shorten the process of actually coming up with a worthwhile style.
Actually the style is derived from the midifile: on Yamaha keyboards Intro # 3 corresponds to the complete intro of the midifile, while intro 1 and 2 are simplified variations.

Some of the songs seem to have that annoying handclap when played on VanBasco. Somehow the correct drum sound isn't being interpreted. Might be o.k. if played through Yamaha. DonM
