Thanks for the input.

OK, I do have Cakewalk/Cubase and some other software. I guess I will do another study on the manual then and use lines of Midi files which I can compose then on the screen. The goal of this all is to make good fitting styles with the well-known parts that you'll also hear in a song to make it more recognizable and better sounding. So it is to avoid the 'general' styles that come with the VA-7, although they are very good. I've just received an e-mail from someone who discouraged me to get EMC because of the cost, the time that's needed to create style and because I might not get what I expect. I will keep that in mind when making a decission. How do other users of this program think about that?

Mart, you do have a VA too?
