Uh...., what the hell do you think the style sequencers are for? You're talking like it ends with the presets. You give the user good preset modern styles AND THE ABILITY to create their own it'll sell.

No you don't need a PHD to create modern music.., but there's a fine line between shit hop and hip hop. You get someone who programs modern styles that really hasn't a clue as to what's even half modern.., well you end up with every arranger currently on the market. You act like it's easy to create hip hop and modern styles. Anyone can throw down a beat.., but making it sound up to date and not like it's from the 1980's is another story.

Anyone can make a keyboard sing like Vanilla Ice.., but it takes great skill to create a style that bumps like what you hear on the radio KingFrog. You'd know that if this was actually your style of music.

What do you think the DJX was KingFrog! That arranger was designed soley for DANCE, TECHNO, HIP HOP, RAP, R&B, CLUB, HOUSE, DnB, and so on... Was the original a flop NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it sold so freakin well it ain't even funny. It can be done.., Yamaha proved it with the success of the DJX line. It had its limitations.., but for the price it did what NO OTEHR ARRANGER TO DATE was capable of doing.... Hell.., Yamaha could put the entire DJX style set with all the kits as an add on to one of their arrangers and it would STILL sound more current than any other arranger out there. The DJX had a patch and style set that WAS NOT on any other Yamaha arranger. So many don't even realize that upper models released AFTER the DJX got some of their modern styles taken directly from the DJX.., they were revoiced.., but didn't sound half as good as they did on the DJX.
