Lovely styles...be great for using to make other styles as well as using them as is.

I have hundreds of styles, but I probably use about 30 or so on a regular basis...all of them made using Yamaha's style assembly to make them sound different than the stock factory styles...I never use canned Intros and Endings...I always do my own.

People are usually very willing to buy great styles...these should do very well.

The Tyros3 sounds awesome, as usual.

"SPOT ON" Ian......
Editing the Intro/Endings is another feature least explored that can be very advantageous to a player..

For those of you that have never seen Don Mason play, he is the king of playing his own intros and endings.

You can't have it both ways, Donny. 'Spot on' to his comments about NEVER using pre-canned Intros and Endings somewhat contradicts your point, doesn't it?

Oh, I see... as long as you use the same keyboard as Donny, you can say something completely the opposite, and he's OK with it!

So, you've got four or five opinions contra preset Intro/Endings, and Donny for them. So they MUST be good, eh? I guess how you feel may depend a lot on whether you can actually PLAY something as good as the pre-canned segment or not...

I think Donny likes the factory intros, and he also appreciates making your own intros. That isn't inconsistent with his stuff about, "don't be a purist."

I like the factory intros. I have them pretty well remembered, and I always play along. It's probably just for ego. The Yammy intros are so well instrumented, they do not require any accompaniment. My addition is probably slightly cacophononous.

Whatever floats your boat.

I loved the intros on these styles - and the variations. At www.yamahamusicsoft.com they have some other recent T3 styles as well, and they also sound fantastic.

If they don't come out with versions of these styles for the S910, then I just might risk downloading the T3 versions, and I'll see if I have the same success I've had with other T3 styles.

sure you can have it both way......play some factory intros......make a few of your own...play along...don't play along, nobody cares as long as it sounds good. Strive to be the best Arranger Meyboard Automatic Music Operator on your block. Give the audience 150% & you'll be fine.
