To create the professional level styles that appear inside a keyboard like the PSR2100, you have to go in the recording studio with studio musicians who are versatile in dozens of styles of music, and who are playing midi drums, midi bass, midi guitars, midi accordian, and midi wind controllers.

There is a program that interfaces with Cakewalk called Rhythm 'n Chords. This program gives you a library of guitar strums and guitar picks, and helps the user to create guitar picking and strumming too. With this program, some quality midi drum loops, and some good keyboard playing, I think a lot of great styles could be created by someone knowledgeable in style creation.

The only people who sometimes - and I say sometimes - create styles that are in league with Yamaha are the styles-music.de people. I don't know if they piece together professional midis (I imagine they do) or what, but some of them sound really hot. On the other hand, some of the Yamaha styles incorporate advanced studio techniques that you don't find in the styles-music styles.
