For those of you who don't have IDC you can listen and download all Styles from here:

Thanx Eric. I have never checked out my IDC thingy. Are these all the same ones on this site as through the IDC?

My main thought is, the intros and endings sound nice, BUT, I'd sure like to hear the 4 variations. I've heard many styles in the past with outstanding intros and endings and then the variations suck.

Is there anyplace where they have the variations available to listen to?

Are the prices the same on the website as they are with the IDC? I'm going to purchase some of these.

Thanks guys!
These are excellent styles that do give the 'real live band' feel.

I don't get it -- there's only 57 IDC files? That's all that's listed on the website ... If there are more, where is the full list?

Is there more I would like to know that also?

A few months ago I purchased several new IDC styles. Some of the filenames of the downloaded styles were different than what the were called on the IDC screen and yamahamusicsoft website. Here is the reply I got from Yamaha:

"While the display names and the names of the files differ I'd like to assure you it isn't a mistake, we simply changed the display names to reflect what we thought was a better description of the style. I apologize for any confusion."

I still disagree..........They should have always called them what they thought was a "better description". Now I am having difficulty figuring out if any of the newer styles are the same. They never did this before. On the other hand, I haven't been disappointed with any of the IDC styles in the past 2 years. -charley

Charley your email isnt working?

I just changed it to the current one.

...........just because earthlink had to change to embarq!! UGH! -charley

Go to http://www.yamahamusicsoft.com/index.php..._by=most_recent

You will see that there are more new styles!! Some look very interesting!

I'm thinking some of these are from the soon-to-be-released Tyros3. They do look interesting.

I bet that's true.

Even though releasing styles from the new keyboard before it is released would seem to suppress the desire to upgrade.

On the other hand, Yamaha has very rarely released so many new a la carte styles. The last time I remember was when I had the PSR2000. The only styles that have come out have been from a new board - with the exception of one or two new styles becoming available. Another exception is offerings from Yamaha in Italy or Holland.

Maybe Yamaha is selling these because they fear that once the Tyros III comes out, many people will be sharing these styles with their online acquaintances.

Beakybird

These styles are fantastic. Every one of them - except Easy Swing, which has a weird rhythm to it.

Please don't ask for me to share them. The last time Yamaha came out with a bunch of new a la carte styles not associated with any board (This was about 5 - 6 years ago), I shared them all over the place. I bet a lot of others did that too. Well Yamaha didn't make any profit (I actually read this here on Synthzone) and they stopped coming out with new ones.

Don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
