I've aleways found the midi2style conversion feature in the MZ2000 to be particularly good Squeak. I wonder how the style creation tools on the G70 and T2 compare. I'm sure they are a lot deeper in some aspects, but for actual midi to style conversion, the simplicity yet functionality of the MZ works very well for me.

I know there are definite advantages in having everything "inside a box" sometimes, especially playing live, but OTOH, I find doing this stuff in FL Studio to be a lot better organized and faster than in my Motif ES, especially when I start using external samples.

Another Q I have is .. why don't I hear the same drum kits and bass sounds in a top flight Yamaha arranger that I hear on the Motif ? The rest of the instruments sound very similar between the two, and perhaps better on the T2 in some cases.
