I don't have the VA but I have to agree with Rikkis here. After reading your post and you steps taken (and taking into consideration how arranger keyboards work) you weren't in the proper "recording mode" to record a style. What you did was enter the sequencer which is "linear". To record styles you'll need to go udner the style recorder of your VA.
