But I worry that the styles, since they may not fit into my genre (or at least the quality). When I hear styles like this I cringe, because that not the way it should sound like.

There one thing that all keyboard companies failed to do is have a Cavaquinho (portuguese / brasilian guitar, similar to a ukulele, but tuned different) in any of their brasilian styles. It is the heart of any brasilian music.

If your going to make styles genre from different countries at least do it right!!

I not sure if they have updated their latin and ballroom, (tangos, valsa etc.)

Frank,

Will the T4 make me sell my Ketron??? How's the latin?

One of the major reasons I sold the PA2x and bought the Tyros was STYLES.....Yamaha has thousands of them available. People create and sell them. The style support is second to none. If one has an arranger it is all abut styles. Otherwise just buy a WS and make your own. The Styles ON the keyboards are just the begininng not the end. I don't want to waste time creating styles I might need for a 3 minute vacation video needing a Hoedown style. I want to find it now, load it, play it, wrap it up in an MP3, email it to the client and wait for the deposit to my PayPal account, sometimes all within a couple of hours. Along with creating BG tracks minus one for my gigging wife, That is how I use my Tyros. I Create low budget highly compressed finshed original sountracks for independant videographers and agencies who don't have or need a budget for a "recording session" and studio musicians. All royalty free and owned by them to use how they wish. I recently finsihed 6 hours worth of "familar yet not" music for a resturant who does not want to pay ASCAP and BMI or SESAC for BG music.

Last year Someone wanted a song that sounded "like" The Christmas Song without being the Christmas song for a video commercial. The Tyros is perfect for this kind of thing.
