Yes i have, with varying results... most of the time i get two really usefull variations, which is enough for a style to be usefull..

But then in order to use that feature, one would have to create a high quallity midi file.. unless like me you copy files from the web, which would be a little unfair for a performing musician.. unless he buys them..


My comments where aimed at creating styles from scratch...


Next to Korg, also the Ketron SD9 should get a nomination for being able te create their own styles... their interface for copying parts between styles is incredible...

That's what I thought to when I saw this topic. Here in the USA I've only seen a few guys performing in public arrangers with auto accompaniment. Just from my observations from the last few years, when I hear solo or duo, they are playing live without tracks or drum machines. Usually guitar players, sometimes with a loop pedal. The acoustic, organic," unplugged" sound seems to be what general expectation is for a solo/duo act.

Bachus, doesn't the Casio MZ-X500 also purport to have this ability? I haven't seen one in person and I know the quality / keybed isn't the greatest. But I'm pretty sure I read on here that it has this feature , and represents a huge step toward the arranger-workstation hybrid everyone's been waiting for.

When we start creating or editing styles we expose who we are – it becomes personal.

I trashed 90% of the styles I created. But I have kept most of the styles that I have edited. I need to edit a style to hear what is in my head.
