I have already emailed Yamaha to ask them if this is true. If it is the PSR2000 is the last board I will ever buy from them. In fact, I still have a window to return the board, and if Yamaha does confirm this, the PSR 2000 may be going back to be replaced by a workstation instead. it won't be a Motif...

On the PA80 site ( Korgs' own site ) there is a midi to style converter and it will play the Korg styles in real time on a computer. It isn't too hard to figure out that the styles are a large part of the Os2 upgrade, and when Korg announced the midi to style converter, they let it be known that you could hear their styles on it, and obviously they knew that their styles could be made into midi files and converted for other boards. In addition, designers of their boards ( PA80 and Karma ) post regularly on the corresponding Yahoo groups sites and often answer concerns of those who have questions or want to see improvement in their boards.

If what I read on the Yamaha PSR style site is really true, then it seems to me that Yamaha is acting a bit paranoid and standoffish toward their arranger customers right at the same time that Korg seems to be trying to change their past reputation ( by some anyway ) for lack of service.
