The T3 has so many fantastic styles already and of course so many also can be downloaded for free, however, there are some styles on the T3 site that I really want, eg, the 90's Pop Ballad is great, but do you think they are priced right or should be free like Korg's are.

Thanks for reading.

Some of the T3 styles are worth it. Depends on how badly you want/need them.

Korg styles are free, but when was the last time they produced a new style? Their website bonus styles page was last updated 12/08. (Or is there another place one can get the latest KORG-manufactured styles?)

I think I'd rather pay $6.95 for a newly introduced style today than have to wait for over a year for a new free one.

Hi Coaster, thanks for the reply. I guess that's true what you're saying. I've identified 5 that I really want so much so I guess I'd have to take the plunge and get them! I also love the PopReagge and Sunday Chillout, 80s Sister Pop great stuff indeed.

Thanks.

The whole reason I buy arranger keyboards and not some other keyboard is the styles.

The Premium styles are almost always as good as what's on the keyboard. This is my hobby, so I don't mind ponying up $7 - $14 a month for new styles.

I think it is realy personal if you want to spend money on new styles. If i had a Yamaha and I really liked a style I would buy it. As beakybird said it is a hobby and hobbies cost money. About Korg styles. Every month you can get 4 Free styles from the German site. Also the Italian site give you so now and then free styles so it isn't true it took years to get new styles. Also there are some places where you can buy styles for the Korg PA's. So there is no short on Korg styles.

I've just bought them Can't wait to try them out!

Hi Danny,
enjoy.
I possibly $1,000plus on Technics style disks over a period of 10 years or so. Do I regret it , no. Even though I no longer own a KN, at the time, I thoroughly looked forward to the new styles on offer.
Wish I'd had the luxury of buying individual styles the way you can with Yamaha, with the KN disks you had to pay for the whole lot, even if you didn't want some of the styles.

Hi Frans,
( apologies for going off topic Danny,)
you mentioned other possible style sites for buying Korg styles, apart from some for sale via Irish Acts site,& the 2 sites that sell usb sticks with styles & sounds, the only other site I'm aware of is Carrillon in the UK.
Are there more that you know of?

I thought there might be more sites, but I lost all my links when my computer died a couple of years ago.

best wishes

You either pay a little for your new styles now, or you wait three years and pay a FORTUNE for a new arranger with a few new styles later...

Pay for them now (and don't share them)... the more the style creator makes for his work, the more likely he will be to making a lot MORE. The less he makes...

Well, you get the picture.

Tell Yamaha you WANT copy protection for styles. It's the only way that it will EVER be profitable enough to be done in the numbers we really want. It would take little effort on Yamaha and the other manufacturers' parts to include a unique Identifier Code to each unit sold, then the style is keyed to the code. No more trading them around like bubblegum cards, and we would see FAR more being made.

Yes, I know it would suck... But having so few being made at all because of piracy sucks even worse.
