Diki,
I wouldn't say MS owners have to provide their own "voices". The MS ships with some good voices. It just also has the "ability" to load the giga sounds for example.
I do agree that in the styles department that it "would appear" the MS owners are left to either write their own, or convert styles from other makers. I also understand that not everyone is capable of creating styles. Playing drums on the keys for example isn't the easiest thing to do.
Maybe someone here has the ability to write styles that compete with the big three. If they do, I'd love to see their equipment

I'm no expert at writing styles, but I can do it. I am without a doubt in the "minority" here. I "program" and edit more than most people would care to do here, but that's just me.
Still I'd love to at least hear some of the preset voices, with either preset or user styles.
