Yamaha have full, smooth, polished styles, with an emphasis on cinematic and filmic styles and oldies. Ketron have Latin nailed. Korg have great smooth jazz styles. Roland have punchy rock and dance stuff, a bit sparser than some. And each of us is looking for that thing, in our heart of hearts. And, despite all the bells and whistles, despite all the flaws, too, I honestly think the styles is what makes us decide.
Bring back style copy protection! Completely agree with the observation of the boards and their focus strengths. I believe you assessments carry over to the WS side of things on those Manufacturers who make them...
Although I am not sure what the hoopla regarding protecting styles is all about. Anyone can load Tyros Styles into a PSR 900. They may not sound as good missing a voice but the more styles the better, The major reason I sold the PA2X and bought Tyros was the shear quantity of styles available
