Back in the day, you paid £45 GBP ($80 USD) for FOUR (count 'em) styles from Roland, if you wanted to expand your E-20/30. And they were terrific, robust, usable musical styles, almost without exception.

Now you pay NOTHING for THOUSANDS of styles and they are mediocre at best, feeble at worst.

I would love to see Roland's in-house programmers going back to to writing styles. The "Gold" styles that were bundled with the E-80 v2 upgrade are an excellent example of old school Roland styles - authentic, generic, genuinely usable styles - that get a lot of play on my 'board. I'd happily pay for more.
