Happy New Year.. 
All the best,
MikeMotif arpeggios are used all day long on commercial recordings. I hardly beleiev one could not use a Yamaha style in the making of a CD. Did Yamaha pay for the Whiter Shade of Pale Style? No they changed it slightly even though there is no question as to what it is. Yamaha doesn't want anyone to SELL their styles AS STYLES not as recorded music. A Whole lot of Motif users in Studios putting out hit records are in deep shyte if what you are saying is true. A Style is an organized LOOP as are the 6000 arps in the Motif.
No I cannot RESAMPLE the Yamaha and use it in another keyboard legally. But I can record and sell CDs all day long using native voices. I would be shocked to learn different.
