The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step...

the file wont open for me. It downloads but wont play.

Make sure your player will accept a 320Kbs mp3 file, if not just try another player. (WMP 11 works fine)
Hope this helps

Diki, Lee..that was a Tyros style, not tweaked or converted...Dom has that Live Styler integrated with the MS control..It works in exactly the same manner as the Qranger section of the MS..Dom developed the XG sound bank to use with the MS/LS...

I also have my G70 conversions to Yamaha (I used EMC)...this gives me my go to styles that I am use to on the G70..Likewise, not tweaked..although it is completely possible to do so....For the most part they seem usable to me....Keep in mind, I am using the LS/MS, with the XG sound bank...and I found the sounds more than pleasing..

If I get some time this week , I will record a variety of styles, with simple chord changes..I also have some Korg styles , I converted to use with my G70, and then again converted the converted file to Yamaha format...and they are also decent to use..

The styles that Dom ships with the MS, include a lot of Tyros styles, a selection of G70 styles, and an assortment of others...
There is a cool K7 style in the selection too...

The one thing I will change is to lessen the bass frequencies , OOTB...Compared to the new XG sound bank...they are a little dark...not bad , just different..

The "new" MS is enjoyable to play, and yes it does cover the arranger play.....a lot better than my "old" MS...

Hi Fran.

Thanks a million for taking the time to upload that. That was by far the best demo of the mediastation to date.

Regards.

Mr9000, you have to get on the same page here...

The demo was posted to show the MS with the newly designed Live Styler..enabling users to play the Yamaha styles direct without any conversion or edits...The MS also has the new XG sound bank, automatically selected when playing a Yamaha style..


It wasn't to showcase any other feature..


Maybe we should start talking about what the MS does that your old 9000 can't do..

You remember, like factory support...

Fran,
Thanks for the clarification...As I expected...The LS with XG does make MS shine...
Of course I would like to hear more style and intros, vars and ending of those styles...as you have time.

In all fairness, Fran, you can't complain when you get honest opinions. It's everyone's right, including yours...

Do you have access to an S900 or T3? (come to think of it, i know you have access to the S900 )

I think it would be fascinating to hear the SAME style done on the MS LS section, and then played by the S900. I think abacus did this for some Yamaha styles on the Wersi one time...

Apples to apples is the way to find out if good is 'good enough'...
