You're welcome guys. I enjoy being able to do this stuff.

As Michael mentioned, these BIAB styles are perhaps a bit less detailed compared to the onboard styles. I actually never thought that much of BIAB and the styles, until I got good software synths and modules. What a difference it makes.

What I've been doing with my own kinda goes like this:

As I modify the instrument and mixer / effect settings, I also find a good set of multipads to go along with the styles. For some styles that might be an 8 beat ac guitar set, for others perhaps a 16th cut electric or 16 beat funk, for others maybe one of the piano pads. Then I save all of this to the registration, for recall.

If you get the right set of pads for a style, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised at how much adding one repeating pad part fills the style up ( if you wanted to do that in the first place ).

The T2 doesn't have many AC piano pads, so two of my first 3 user multipad sets are AC piano phrases. The first came from my Motif ES arps and the second from my own realtime playing. Not that this board didn't sound great right out of the box, but it's already becoming a much different animal now as I add this stuff.. and I'm loving that part of it as well.

The nice thing is that what I can do with the T2 will work on any of the more recent Yamaha arrangers. The OS resembles the one from the PSR2000 so much that I haven't needed the manual for anything other than looking at the way some of the midi data is setup.

For now I'm only going to modify the styles from within using the registrations. I could actually redo the voices and mixer settings for the styles permanently by modifying them in OMB, but it would be rather time consuming compared to just saving registrations. I'd rather split my time between actually playing the T2 and making some new multipads for it.

Regards,

AJ
