Hi Al,
sorry, we've got our wires crossed, I wasn't try to suggest you use omb software as your arranger ( especially as you have a tyros), but it is a good style editing & creation tool.

I use it as an arranger because i didn't want to go to the expense of buying a Clavinova with arranger functions (ie I wanted the best quality piano within my budget, rather than pay for arranger functions, which I knew I could get with omb)
plus I also wanted the portability of using omb with a laptop & softsynth).

I thought that you were mainly interested in something that may help you with creating styles. Study the stylemaker section. I found it pretty enlightning as to how psr styles actually worked by studying existing styles.
ie if you double click the events colum on the stylemaker page , it shows up all the notes that make up any track.
For drum tracks that's an easy way to edit ie add/delete/replace drum notes..
You can also record style tracks in realtime.
There is a certain amount of editing available, but not as much as in a software sequencer.
And don't forget you can create a style from a midifile, either from a smf or one that you record ie record a style in a sequencer, do any editing required, save as a midifile, then use the midifile load/paste function in omb to create your style.

I was mainly suggesting that it could be a good way of giving you extra stylemaking tools in software form, if that is something that you think is lacking in your Tyros.

best wishes
Rikki
