Hello All
You may have seen my post about the New Open Art Arranger Software (A few weeks ago) that Wersi will be introducing from December; one of the features is the ability to play Yamaha Styles Directly Without Conversion.
There are some pictures and a short demo of the new Open Art Arranger on the Wersi Austria site. (Presumably the prototype as it is not due for release until next month)
For those that do not understand German, the rough translation is, all the pictures are of the screen itself taken with a camera. (Hence the reflections)
The sound demo consists of Yamaha Styles which have been loaded in and played directly one after the other. (No Editing) The MP3 file has only been recorded at 96Kbs, so you do tend to get some compression effects, (Hopefully when the final version is released we will have better quality sound samples) but it should give you an idea of what to expect.
Enjoy

Bill
