Interesting comments however:

Kronos is essentially a software player, its synth engines and modules are effectively VSTi (Some are available from Korg to use in any VST Host) which has been fully integrated into a custom OS, (It�s what the Mediastation could have been) however because you can only use the software instruments that Korg provide, it means they have full control of what can or cannot be done by the user. (It�s as integrated as any hardware board)

A fully integrated VSTi in an arranger/organ has been available for 7 years, as all Wersi OAS instruments from 2005 use the Steinberg Hypersonic VSTi as its sound engine. OAS 7 instruments also give you the option to use your own choice of VSTi for additional sounds. (Including use in styles)

The Pegasus Wing is an interesting departure for Wersi (And not just because it is cheaper than other TOTL arrangers out there) as while it still uses the Steinberg Hypersonic VSTi as its sound engine, it lacks user VSTi integration, thus only VSTi supplied by Wersi can be used (Similar to the Kronos)

As Diki said integrating styles from other manufactures is not easy due to all the variables,(Wersi had to program its own equivalent sounds to replicate the Yamaha Mega Voices to get Yamaha styles to work without conversion) however one of the problems is that most hardware boards don�t have the flexibility to allow an easy transition, (e.g. If a Roland Style has a 3 layer bass drum, but a Korg can only accept a 2 layer bass drum then its gets difficult to get the styles to match) however software instruments don�t have this restriction so it becomes easier (Although still difficult) to sort out the conversion.

The Music industry is (As has been mentioned) in a state of flux at present, so it will be interesting to see what the future brings. (Personally I can�t wait)
