Yes I create my own styles.
Occasionally I would use an onboard style but that is not the reason why I bought an arranger. I got an arranger to make my own.
I typically have around 15-20 user styles that I use on gigs. Now every two or three months, I create a few more styles. And so that my sound does not stay repetitive I also edit my sounds a lot. So I don�t have to buy an arranger every six months.
To me, that is the point of an arranger is to have the ability to create styles and sounds to have your own sound.
It generally takes me around 2-3 hours to create one style.
Understand that I generally do not use all 8 tracks for a style. Typically, I may use 2 or 3 drum/percussion tracks, and 3-4 for other sounds.
