one thing that's got me intrigued, is, I wonder what Yamaha would think about a perfect clone?
They appear to turn a blind eye when it comes to software like OMB & Live Styler & the hundreds of psr styles that are converted to other formats.
Guessing the reason may be because conversions don't sound as good as originals. They also require tweaking.
And in the case of OMB & Livestyler the PERFECT psr soundsource doesn't exist (as far as I'm aware.) Styles again require tweaking, which puts a lot of potential users off.

More likely that Yamaha turn a blind eye because they know that when it comes to arrangers, theirs are ready to go right out of the box which is what the huge majority of arranger buyers want. And that huge majority ain't gonna faff around with something as complex as the MS appears to be.

The only other reason may be that Yamaha are constucting the mother of all lawsuits on the styles copyright issue.
