Roy-André,
some of the midifiles/styles are oustanding: I am thinking especially of all the jazz standards (like Route 66) or songs like Blue Bossa: you can really learn a lot if you listen to the solos in these songs or maybe analyze the chord changes with a sequencer program that can display notes as well.
So, I consider 12,5 euros a very good investment for midifiles like these. On the other hand, the Blue Bossa style on my 9000 pro has way too much reverb and some of the rhytm tracks are too loud; on the SD1 it sounds much better, so I have to think that it has been tweaked first for the Ketrons and later for the Yamahas. The strange things is that other songs (like Guantanamera) sound much better on the 9000 pro, compared with the SD1.
A final consideration, which has nothing to do with the technical quality of the midifiles, is the following: while I am more than glad to pay 12,5 euros for songs like Route 66 or Georgia on my mind, I would never pay the same sum for a song like "Asereje"; if you analyze the "Styles and Music" catalogue you will see that many songs/styles are "German pop", Schlager and so on. I think that this kind of repertoire has little or no appeal to musicians living in other european countries or in USA.
