Until now, the ONLY arranger manufacturer that gives the user FULL access to ALL the parameters to make styles without the need of special "software" is Korg, I recently develop with my business partner Juan Miguel Zarate some styles for them, soon to be released.
I did use only a regular SMF sequencer and the keyboard itself.

ALL the others, give you "some" VERY limited Access to parameters like if you want to make a Intro3 in Mayor then another Intro3 in minor tonality, and that goes for the "virtual CV1, CV1b, CV1c, etc" for every variation, fills, Endings, etc, so, until those manufacturers do what APPLE is doing, giving access to programmers all over the world to develop apps, you can guess "who" benefits?, as everybody have seen the Apple adds, they even use that as a tool for marketing....more apps for their products to make them even more appealing.....for some reason, Apple is successful.
