Hi Chas,
Thought you would never ask.

The Genesys has the ability to copy any phrase of a given style, i.e. any of the four Intro's, four Ending's, four Fill's and four Variations to any of the 64 User Style locations. Therefore you can pick and choose any of the phrases mentioned from any of the 256 internal styles and create new custom styles.
Of course the result depends on selecting phrases from various styles that will match up
style-wise. Then again you might want to do a tune like Green Dolphin Street where the 'A' section is latin and the 'B' section is swing so pulling phrases from two entirely different style feels would be very appropriate. The advantage in that example is one style could take care of the entire song instead of have to select between a bossa nova and a swing style in the middle of the song.
If you want to know more, I will elaborate.
Best Regards,
Dave
