If I wanted to make styles I would have bought a Motif XS8. There are thousands of styles available that I can choose from. I hardly believe me or anyone else can come up with something truly original within a 12 note scale and five parts...

Some people like to tweak voices in synths as well. I used what came with them. I want to create music not styles. I'll buy the styles to back the melody and lyric. Just like I would hire David Foster to arrange a song, or Michael Omatain, Maurice White, whomever. If I could play like a real drummer, bass player, horn player, guitarist, etc I would do it all myself on a real workstation.

I will use the MIDI in a SW sampler though. But I bought the Arranger because of it's arrangements. I worked for years "playing all the parts" The Arranger is much better. Allows me to concentrate on chordal harmony amd Melody and let the "players in the Yamaha do what they do best" to support my songs. There are so many styles available of every type. No need to reinvent the wheel.

That said I do not record with EFX when tracking individual parts, nor may I keep panning and volume the same. Once its in Sonar as a raw audio file I can then mix it up and send MIDI through voices other then the Yamah's insome cases.
