Hi Bill,

I've found that by adding different Audio drums, different audio bass tracks for each variation, different loops for each variation for channel 4, different audio live guitars for each variation, plus the ability to have my live guitars change on the fly purely by the way I press my chords, attaching different vocal harmonies & settings to each variation provide more than enough AWESOME variation for me, done on the fly & then saved as a single registration that also houses the style.

One simply selects ANY style found, and this forms only the very basis of what can be created. I can take the very same style, change all the above and you will not believe for the life of you that it started off by being the same style. I hardly use any onboard style as is anymore because of the ease I can create all the above with. And I become better at this with every style I change. Best part is, that whilst using this live, I can make more changes on the fly and simply re-save the registration before playing the next song. AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!!

As you know, I've modified & uploaded tens of thousands of styles for the Yamahas. So I'm not new to this at all. However, what I'm currently achieving on the Audya with so little effort is MIND BOGGLING, to say the least. I can post so many examples over here, as I find better ways for playing the same songs with each passing day. However, I do not want to completely take over this forum by posting too many of my own creations. I can do so on a daily basis if I wish.

With the AJAMSONIC upgrade, there are so many extra audio drum & live guitar sections to choose from, that I will not easily be bored again.

No, for me, I do not need any extensive modifications on the styles found both from the factory styles or from the ones found at Create Songstyles. But, you HAVE to have an Audya yourself to experiment with this to appreciate what I'm stating here. (No pun intended whatsoever)

As for me, I am satisfied to the very extreme with the Audya! And after four weeks, I'm still discovering new, exciting stuff with each passing day! No need for any special tools for me, whatsoever. The onboard ones are just AWESOME!!!

Keep well my friend,

Henni
