Hi Bobby,

Last night I cleaned up my Audya a bit. I put all the stuff that would not play in a seperate directory.

However, here's what I did with my Yamaha & what I'm going to do with the Audya:

1. I create a new folder called "I like"

2. Next I start listening one by one to all the styles I have. If anything grabs my attention, I copy and past to my "I like" folder. This takes up a lot of time, even weeks maybe.

3. When I find a good intro or ending on an otherwise poor style, I'll save these seperately for later use.

4. When I'm done, I start to listen to every single style in my "I like" folder. Because everything in there grabs my attention and inspires me, I'll thoroughly enjoy listening to all of them one by one and this do not feel tedeous at all anymore.

5. Every so often a song would come to mind whilst I'm being higly inspired. I then save it immediately as an registration with the song title as it's name.

6. I repeat "4. & 5." for as long as I have this arranger. Everytime I do this, more songs spring to mind.

7. Later I'll start tweaking some of the styles in my "I like" folder. In my Yamaha, I started copying intros & endings that are nice to some of my favourite styles. Even some complete variations from other styles. (I like to start with a soft ballad in variation 1 and build it up to a rock version in variation 4. This is just the way I like to perform.)

The above is just the way I like to do it & it works well for me. Yes, there are some good styles and also some common ones out there. The above is the only way I've found to date to sift through them all.

I guess I now have over 20 000 styles for the Audya. At least 1 000 or so will be of outstanding quality. Of those, maybe 300 or so will motivate me to play something in a way to my liking.

Remember, we don't gig, but use our Audya for live Praise & Worship only. 300 Songs is a lot for us and more than adequite for our needs. I'm now looking forward to AJ's tutorial DVD. There are still many things about the Audya that I do not yet fully understand. I want to make this learning curve as short as possible.

Hope the above helps someone out there.

Keep well my friend,

Henni
