Can anyone out there tell me why you never see the Casio styles available to share anywhere on the web? There must be a lot of them... I listened to the WK-1800 and thought it had some nice styles. Why hasn't any one started collecting & sharing Casio styles - and converting them for use in other arranger keyboards? If they are available, where can I find them?

Hi TomTomsf,
The MZ2000 hasn't even appeared in Dallas yet; the local megastores are pretty fast on picking up the new tech, but my contacts say that the new units are backordered. Looks like the CasioKids may have a hit on their return to the pro market.
See the current Keyboard mag for a review of the MZ. If I understand the review correctly, there is a studio songstyle template type function that will extract a songstyle from any section of a standard MIDI file.
My WK1800 will supposedly convert Technics and Roland styles to the Casio format, but I'm still in the exploratory stage with this new board and haven't given this a try.
Since the 1800, like the MZ2000, is programmable, I expect sites to start popping up with new sounds and styles, after a suitable learning period.
I'm looking forward to playing the MZ2000, as well as the Korg PA80 (it hasn't arrived in big D either).
