Ever since I received the Yamaha PSR740, I have been curious about this myself!

For instance, the Yamaha PSR740's styles are simply incredible - with complex drum rhythms, etc. But I realized that I could learn so much from Yamaha's styles! Since I do not know much about rock music in general, I could then study the rock styles and get an idea of what drums were used, how the guitar was played, and more. So, you can basically learn A LOT from the styles that are available on these advanced keyboards...I have!


Midi-guitars and drums?! I've thought about this before many times and how useful these MIDI instruments could be! MIDI drums, for instance, sound like they could be extremely useful because it allows the drummer to fully express the complicated rhythms by actually playing realistic drums, instead of hitting the keyboard's keys! This allows the drummer to actually express the rhythms more realistically and I think that MIDI drums would be an awesome way to compose styles and drum tracks. I've never heard of the MIDI-Guitar, but that also sounds awesome as well. That would definitely be the best way to integrate guitar parts into an MIDI song - that way, the most realistic sound would be achieved!

Interesting discussion everybody and thanks for sharing your knowledge about styles. Currently, I am working on a style and it comes naturally when composing the drums...but I can see why the MIDI drums and guitar could help!

See you all around and looking forward to talking to you more!
