Ian Styles are nothing but sequences...and they sound the same when chorded by you or I...Playing over sequences adds just as much demension...maybe more..and today's arrangers with markers and changing tones on the fly...makes a sequence just as much your own, as playing style patterns with a few chord changes and fills...Think about it... smile [/quote]

Fran - Styles are indeed sequences... and styles are optimised for the respective keyboard they are released on. YES you can convert a korg to a roland style and tweak it to sound better on the Roland. this is possible - I am sure you have proven this BUT it is only a minor percentage of the total of styles...

What i mean is there might be 400 styles on the Korg PA 800 and 20 of them might sound better on the the roland after tweaking... but then again - most people tweak factory styles anyway so it proves yet again that you cannot compare a keyboard's sound output using the SAME sequence file...
