About as easy as it can get to create styles, combine styles, modify styles. Add the Makeup Tools as finishing polish, you are done!
And style 'morphing' may be gone into the dustbin of great Roland features cruelly dropped, but the 'Cover Tools' function is surprisingly powerful, and can turn a style into something unrecognizable...
And then THAT can be combined with parts from other styles, similarly mangled... and once again, the finishing polish applied with the Makeup Tools header editing.
But, of course, you've actually got to TRY these features in the store before you buy it to have a clue how powerful they are. And most only spend an hour or two, running through the styles and OTS's. It's no wonder we get posts like this.
Mind you, there's ONE thing from olden days I'd LOVE to see a return of... simple 8th beat and 16th beat styles, with a 'swing' parameter you can adjust in realtime.
Man, I'd KILL for that! 
Create 12 intros, 12 endings, 12 variations and 18 fills, wherever they originate from. Take the Roland 'Composer, Converter and Make Up Tools' and then you'll get the best possible style. But Roland didn't know it themselves. That's the reason they made a bad business. (poor publicity)
