How does a creatively challenged person learn what notes to add and what sounds to layer for a better sounding result. Are there books with lots of examples, DVD's etc? General rules don't help me much. I'm a copy cat person, not creative. Telmo and The Solitaire have their sounds.
I would like to modify current voicing and musical notes for a song for a change of pace for my own satisfaction. I play at home on a Tyros.

you are basically asking about how to be a capable painter by buying a few more brushes. There's a lot more to music than equipment, sounds, layers and styles.
You won't get 'better sounding' with these tools.
You don't 'modify musical notes' with that. I am selling some dvds about modulations and how to arrange intros and endings, in the buy and sell section.
With my total surprise, no one here cares about these topics.
Great, but don't complain if you get drown in mediocrity....because what's in these dvds is what separates the men from the boys. I am not saying that to sell my dvds...whether or not I sell them, is no big deal to me.
The question is: do you want to be someone who plays a keyboard for a little fun, or do you want to be something more? You have to put in 70 per cent to get out 30 per cent, make no mistake...
What I am saying is, if you want to be a better player, learn about music and technique. You can pretty much ignore all the rest, which is largely very relative.
