Wait a second, the PSR2000 has access to all of the styles from the PSR9000 and the CVP209, $2200-$3000 keyboards.

I'm sure Scott has tried some of these styles, and he's disappointed in these too. It must be a matter of taste, because I'm very very happy with the styles, but I don't do straight jazz. I do a lot of jazzy and swingy and boogie woogie popular music.

Apparently, you cannot do step editing of Yamaha professional styles with any part except channels 9 and 10 - on your keyboard. This is the way they protect their copyright. But there is a program, StyleEdit, that helps you overcome that. You can always edit any style easily on your computer, and CASMEdit is an excellent program that helps you separate the midi section from a style so you can work with it on your favorite sequencer.

Scott, you can check out the X1 styles converted for Yamaha. Some of these might suit your needs. They might need a little bit of cleaning up. The same thing with some of the VA7 styles. Those need more editing, but I was able to clean up a boogie woogie style that is just in your face fantastic.

You can load 20 of these styles (or converted styles from any keyboard) or you can load them from floppy lightning fast. It is really unbelievable (especially after playing the PSR740 for two years) how quickly the PSR2000 can load a floppy style. The floppy drive seems to be faster than my computer floppy drive.

I, for my part, remain awestruck by what the PSR2000 can do. My clients are very impressed too.
