I don;t know about that. But i do find it interesting that Yamaha gets piled on quite a bit by non users. Supposedly happy with their choices. Bottom line is all the Arrangers are great and the differences are hairsplitting to the avg listener. Only the players can really hear the differences. I chose the Yamaha initially because Arrangers are all about STYLES....Korg did not have the style library Yamaha has. SO for me initially it was who has the most styles Not "how can I create styles" I have the Motif to create scratch songs. I want the arranger for styles.....Press the Internet button and the Yamaha site comes up in the Tyros screen and I can instantly audition and download any style I need right now without getting up....and choose from hundreds.

That was the most important thing to me at the time. I make up the shortfalls with the motif and VSTs. but I am not a live player so I am not "stuck' with only what's on board. But if i were I am sure I would be happy with the Tyros in that regard as well.

If one wants to create styles I am sure. there are easier keyboard to do that on. The whole idea of an arranger for me is Styles styles and more styles....already done.

The Work Station is the place to create what cannot be found for me if only because of a Pattern mode.
