As far as I know, I'm the only one remaining around here that entertains as a one-man-band exclusively with styles and real-time playing and singing.
There are several people using arrangers but all of them that I know of use at least as much midi, mp3 and kar stuff as styles.
Semilive could do a show with just styles, but he usually doesn't because he prefers guitar jobs.
My friend Dickie T has a new Tyros 4 and uses styles, but he also uses a lot of midi and CDG files. Our friend Henry L. uses Roland BK7m and uses styles, but relies heavily on CDG as well.
Vince Ramos down in Houston uses Ketron SD1 and plays mostly styles. I'm sure there are others in the general area that I'm overlooking, but I don't think so. Some of the others use midi or recorded music and even act like they are playing keyboard.
However, as DNJ says, whatever it takes to please the people is o.k.

I'm with you Don. I play ONE midi file, which I massaged through the sequencer and that's New York. Other than that, years of arranging the songs via style play. I think the kybd sounds its best that way and I like to present my own arrangements. Nothing worse that hearing entertainer after entertainer singing to a stupid computer - how difficult is that? BTW, too bad you got a lemon 800 in the past. The PA80 is light years behind the 800 IMO.

Well, it really wasn't a lemon, it was technically the FIRST one in the U.S. I got it directly from a Korg rep, who didn't know anything about it. He had only had it for a couple of days and it had not been taken out of the box.
I had it for about a month, and it sounded really bad. I sold it, and THEN they issued a complete OS update that supposedly addressed most of the issues I had with it.
I use midi files on two or three songs when they are requested, which isn't often. Sometimes I do NY, NY, that way, but sometimes do it with styles. I generally do Suspicious Minds with a midi file. I'm too lazy to set up styles for most songs with tempo changes. Actually I had a great Suspicious Minds style, but I don't remember if it was for a Yamaha or Ketron kb.
