No Mike, the sequencers play midi data only, not live styles in real time. I have been able to switch back and forth between styles by modifying an original style an creating a new user style, changing or morphing some of the style parts, some of the data and or music, but this has it's limitations too. One thing I like better about Yamaha arrangers is that if I leave a style part off ( say an organ part or whatever might be on channels 14 15 etc.. , that part stays in the off position when I go to another style. Doesn't work that way with the PAS80. It reverts automatically to turning all style parts back on and no matter what variation you switch from, it automatically goes to variation "a" when changed . Of course you can adjust this by saving a "performance" or by using the write to disk function. In other words, I save style using write to disk function with parts on channel 14 and 16 off, it reverts to that when I switch back to that style from another, and it defaults to whichever variation it was on when I "wrote to disk ". This helps if you know ahead of time if for example you wanted to go in real time from internal style Rock1 to user Rock1 and you wanted to keep 2 or 3 style parts turned off and you wanted user rock1 to start at variation d for example. This applies to internal styles as well. You can adjust them to default to any variation, but they will stay "locked" that way until you wite to disk again and channge it.

Hope I made sense there.. lol
