Owning my first Korg arranger, the Pa2xpro, after owning Yamaha boards for the past 8 years I think qualifies me to compare the two.

One of things I like very much about the Korg styles is the fact they are not over-done like the Yamaha styles. Although the Yammy styles are very good and melodic, they do sound very cheezy after a while; especially playing live. Sometimes you will get an annoying string or guitar strum that constantly plays the same thing over and over to the point that you MUST shut down that track in the mixer.

The Korg, on the other hand, sounds more natural like a live band. And if the Korg style does get a little over the top, you have those wonderful sliders to mute or reduce the volume.

Overall, I think the Korg styles are VERY different from the Tyros 2 styles and are more geared towards live music.
