Just for the record, I was never one of those who claimed the MS style engine could be better than the Yamahas, Korgs, Ketrons et al.

I think the "playing" sounds, via VST's can be possibly better, but not styles.

That said, what I am going to try to do is see how CLOSE I can get the MS to the Yamaha styles using either VST or GIGA sounds. I already have a GM soundset based all on Giga patches, so that will be my first port of call in setting up the style. If I cannot get that to the level I think it should be I will then adopt a VST approach.

As for chord progs...I will also try to get the Live Arranger to emulate correct chord progressions including variable root bass lines...

To keep it all consistent, I wonder if you, or someone else, could record a couple of 32 bar chord progressions, no right hand work needed and then burn them down to a 256 MP3 and send them to me.

Perhaps one prog on the s910, and the same one on a more basic PSR that perhaps uses less SA and Mega technology (only for purposes of review).

Do one with variable root bass lines, and the other with the bass only on root.

I will then do the work on the MS, and post both sets of mp3 files.

I think that is the fairest way to do it.

To be honest I do not think the MS with the Live arranger will come too close to the S910/Tyros styles, but perhaps it will be a case of "they sound good , just different???".

But I think we can get it pretty close to a "standard" PSR.

Anyhoo let me know what you think.

Just a reminder to Ian or anyone else that can help with this...Seems the thread got sidetracked after I posed the question.
