Hi Heinrich,
when you think about it , OMB is not really a software version of a PSR.
It's not a Yamaha program, but created by an individual.
It is able to load .sty files, which is the same format as psr styles and that is a real bonus.

The following are just some of my thoughts
Possibly Jos has done it this way, because more users are likely to use a GM source rather than an xg. GM doesn't recognize drums on any channel other than 10.
For an xg user, there's probably no reason why you wouldn't just change channel 10 back to channel 9 for percussion tracks.

I used to edit my styles to suit my soundsource. Being able to use whatever soundsource you choose , has it's pro's & it's cons.
You have to be prepared to do some work to make the styles sound good for your soundsource. Unfortunately there isn't a softsynth version a Tyros or PSR3000 etc

OMB has all the editing functions onboard to edit the styles & make them sound good.

best wishes
Rikki
