What is all the moaning about?
If you want a board that does not play styles then buy a motif or a triton or whatever.... but please leave the musical snobbery out of it. I will never get it when folks who buy arrangers insist they never use the arranger functions. (implying that to do so would somehow compromise their musical integrity! Get over it!)Somehow it is supposed to make it OK to play styles if you make them yourselves? Behave. I like to drive my car but I let Mazda make it for me so does that mean I am not a 'real' driver? POPPYCOCK!

So what if the G70 styles are converted to play on other boards. No matter how well the conversion is done they will never sound as good as when played on the board for which they were intended anyway. I doubt Roland is losing any sleep over this common practice.

When I had the 9000pro I had all the Tyros styles converted for it. I liked the styles so much I eventually bought the Tyros. First time I played the Tyros I realised that while the styles sounded 'familiar' they were infinately superior played on the TY than when played on the 9000pro.

Heck most manufacturers support conversions via Styleworks and such programmes anyway.

I have the G-70 conversions and to be frank there are not many in there that I would use over the styles I have that were specifiaclly written on/for the ty. HOWEVER I bet I would like the G-70 styles a whole lot more if I played them on a G70
I don't see the problem. (But I did enjoy venting )
