I use factory styles just as they are. Why mess with the pros. There are many aspects of style play that allow one to be original, taken the time to do so. I probably spend as much time on my arrangements than most do on tweeking the original style.

I agree with Diki - canned is canned, no matter how you cut it.

I don't use smf. That's where the next guy coming in will sound the same. How many times can one listen to the same New York, New York smf?
