This is a little off thread.
I own a PSR550 and tried creating a style. This is my first attempt, so I need to dig a little deeper, but I found it very frustrating.
1) You have to use an existing style, but I want the style to have 4 measures not 1 or 2.
2) Since I am using an existing style, it would not let me change the voice.
3) I am creating this style for a specific song, with chord changes, but all the chords must be C major. So I have to convert every chord inversion I'm using to C. Phew.
Hey Squeak,
You mentioned a while back that your were using software (that was really good) to create sequences, what were you using?
Back on thread.
I'm an old guy too (58), but I rarely use the onboard styles. I play contemporary christian songs, which would use ballad, rock, and pop type styles. I don't play dance music.
To create a more modern arranger, the keyboard makers would have to create those Hip Hop, R & B, type styles. If they added a few more "modern" drum kits, they could satisfy both markets.
