Stay with your easy way out boards....and those that know better will continue to enjoy the superior open keyboards.. 
Hey Fran...why not toot....er...play (record) something on the Mediastation
using style mode (no SMF, please) and enlighten us poor souls stuck with an MOTL closed arranger.
Just something basic and simple, but a tune that can showcase the superiorness of the open system Mediastation...send it to me privately, if you don't want to risk posting it here.

I haven't heard you play using style mode in some time...maybe even some of that two-handed technique using full keyboard style mode that you say you have down so well.
I'm curious to see how great the MS handles styles...and you've had it long enough to know it quite sufficiently....you should be even more proficient on it than James.
