Kwtron is the only company innovating the actual styles engine
There is a lot of workstation players that undoubted would love launchpads as a backing... it suites them much more with the scenes then the intro/endings of the typical styles...
Actually for many it turns styles into a pro feature... if yamaha would add this to the montage 2, it would be a huge huge hit... and work very well for any backing system...
