It gets better all the time/// goodens!!

I think the espescially the first style was very uninspiring and dull...

I presume the first one is designed for Status Quo numbers, however it has obviously been programmed (And sol voices selected) by someone who has never heard Status Quo, and hasn’t a clue what they sound like.

It’s seldom that Yamaha make a really bad style, but that one definitely needs sending to the recycle bin.

Fortunately the second one is up to their usual standard, so will be ideal for those that like pre-set styles.

Have you seen how Martin Harris plays, when he gets older he will have problems with his wrists, he is sat down below the KB, crab hands.

Gettin' old ain't fer wimps!

The second ones is a keeper!

Just curious, do many of you buy Premium styles on a regular basis.

I've bought one, so far. The "French Swing!"
Don P

yeah I buy styles from Yamaha all the time. I'd buy even more if they made styles that I really need (real, authentic, comtemporay Latin) Not the British/ballroom version of Latin.

I don't know about the styles above, but these styles are very useful and can be purchased at the Yamaha Musicsoft website. $39.95 for 7 very good and useful styles is not bad at all.

Thanks Al for bringing those styles to our attention. I think I'll pick those up once I get a pay check (sucks to be poor)

BTW, the first once (Barry Disco) is obviously for a Barry White song. Which one? It's really bugging me- it's on the tip of my tounge....

You Are The First, My Last, My Everything from Barry White.

Very good styles btw

yes, that's the one. thanks!!! now i'll be able to sleep well tonight:)

Hahaha Good Night

Paul,
The style you mentioned may appropiate for this...

wow...Frans was 30 seconds faster than me and we both had the same song...so it must be the one.

Al

Those midispot styles have sure improved. The ones I bought several years ago I wasn't too satisfied with.

BTW, you mentioned in another post you used a Contemporary Big Band style for some song. Is that an onboard style you misnamed or is it 3rd party, and if so where might I find it?

Thanx
Scott

HI Scott,

It's actually on on-board style that I may have misnamed; I don't have the T4 in front of me, but it could be called Contemp Big Band or Contemp Jazz Band.

"Contemp" doesn't exist as a style description in Ty4 BigBand.
You might be referring to ClassicBigBand style - which is a good one.
Some contrasting rhythms there to provide some impact - eg, try going from the rolling rhythm of Variation C (or D) and then switching to the more disciplined swing of Variation B when coming to a different section of the song (or maybe change to a different song in mid stream).
