Tom,

Yes the Yammy big band styles are pretty simple and Repetitious. On some of the variations you have to go to style edit and rerecord a new bass line to get that smooth walking bass on many of the Var4 styles. I prefer the Korg i30/Pa80 styles for big band which when converted and tweaked sound great. But even with that said when you play them you have to additionally add some great RH layered and harmonized (standard trio) sax sections, and Brass combinations to make these styles give off that "REAL" BB sound.

But.........the Yammy does excell very very well in R&R, Country, Latin, Ballads, Pop where many other unit do not. This is what I was saying last week. Mix and match the styles to Your liking. As long as you enjoy playing and navagating your keyboard the styles from many of the units out there can be converted, edited, and tweaked to achieve some great music.
