I wanna say only a little of what i wanna say:
i hear this a lot on this forum, about playing live and not using SMFs, CDs,(and I will add: Styles)! If You're so into Live music, than why bother playing Keyboard at all, why won't you just play LIVE instrument, like a guitar, bass guitar, drums, if you're so into live music ?!?!
and i can answere part of this question: Because these people can't play any live instrument, because thet're used to just pressing chords and the AutoAccompaniment is doing all the work for these lazy people. If you made the Style yourself than its ok to use is. same thing with SMFs and stuff, if you made it yourself USE IT, if you're using someone elses SMF, thats even worse than using auto accompaniment!
