I'm very happy with the styles on the Tyros2 and the S900.

They cover all the genres I play, and since they use mega voices, they are very good.

Probably why Wersi makes a point of saying that Yamaha styles can be used in their arrangers.

Why pass up a good thing when these great styles will make your arranger sound nearly as good as a Yamaha?

There is also a great abundance of third party styles available for Yamaha arrangers...all free.

Also, Dont forget ......

Styles DON'T make the Player

Yes, but the player can make the styles.

Yes as one who hides behind them & leans on styles exclusively....talent will always show its head through the mix,
Good or Bad

One should never hide...play and be proud!!

Pass it on.

Once you utilize ANY automated backup its a form of Hiding no way arround it. Styles give you repetitive backup, SMF/Mp3's etc, gives you acuracy but predictable arrangements although "markers" help to a point, we all Hide in a way.

Not me.

Once you utilize ANY automated backup its a form of Hiding no way around it.

That's your opinion...not mine.

I don't hide.

Ian

Gotta run I got some hiding to do today
