Hi Chas,
no doubt your idea would be a good one,but maybe not in manufacturers best interests.
If we have too many options for creating "top quality styles" ourselves, there may not be the burning desire to upgrade our keyboard each time they bring out a new model. haa haa
Probably just me, but the first thing I used to do, was go thru was the intro's & endings. I was under the misguided notion that because a style had new intro's, they must have created some brand new styles. Found out not neccasarily the case, sometimes it was just the same old style with new intro's & endings and maybe some updated voices. I found with the Technics over the years the majority of styles were carried forward to the next model, & they'd include a few new ones. At least one did have the option of buying extra style disks, and there was a fairly large collection available thru a 3rd party source..

I sometimes just create my own. Use a fade in, or use a chord progression to match the tune I want to play. Must admit I get sick of the same 3 intro's for every song I want to play using that particular style.

best wishes
