it's really such a pity you can't get access to a korg to try.
You'd love the style editing functions.
Whether or not you'd like the styles is another matter. Yammie & korg styles are different.
You can do your mix n matching of style tracks. You can even use the tracks fom the pads & incorporate them into the style ( & vice versa, ie create a pad from a style track).
Then of course you've got the ability of creating or editing a style in a pc sequencer.
Fairly similar to the way a yammie style looks in a pc sequencer with the markers etc. Actually that's how I convert my old yammie styles to korg format.
Change the markers to suit Korg, remap some of the wrong drums, move the minor Intro's & Endings to the end of the midifile. Save & import it into the Korg. I've now got a style. Then I have to do a bit of tweaking in the korg.
Basically it would be the same way I'd record a style from scratch, if I had the talent. haahaa

That sounds really cool, Rikki...I would love to have a chance to play one, or even take one home for a few days...if they had them at the local store, it wouldn't be a problem.
I really liked what I heard, as far as the styles, and, of course, being able to edit so extensively, and so minutely would be a great benefit to me.
I knew that you were a dedicated style maker, so I figured the system must be pretty good if you were pleased with it; plus you could unbiasedly compare it against the Yamaha method.
Well, now that Roland is out of the picture, maybe a few stores will bring in a Korg arranger or two....hopefully.
All the best,
Ian
