And this is WHY people resort to illegal means to get what they need...

If Yamaha simply got off its' arse and made an S900/910 translation of all the T3 styles, they could SELL THEM through the IDC. If they don't, it is inevitable that people WILL find a way.

Sheer laziness. It's not as if the style is going to sound as good on a PSR. Shouldn't scavenge any T3 sales, IMO. It's just strange. Yamaha set up a nice way to securely deliver styles via IDC, then don't leverage the technology with the products that the consumer actually WANTS...

All I can say Tim is one false move and your ass is in jail.

By the way, what's your email address?

Tim, let us know if the Tyros 3 Styles play nicely on the S910 or if it needs some tweaking.

I received my PSR910's today and spoke with Steve Deming at Yamaha regarding playing Tyros3 styles in the 910.
The 910 does have the same mode as the Tyros3 to play using the new Guitar mode. So, if you load Tyros 3 styles into the 910 they will play perfectly unless some of the super articulation sounds that are in the Tyros3 are not present in the 910 and in this case, the 910 will pick an appropriate other sound in its place.

All of the T3 styles will play in the S910. About half of the T3 styles play in the S910 with no voices missing. About 35% have one or more voices that appear empty in the mixer but are substituted with a suitable voice in the S910. About 15% have a voice missing that doesn't play. This is especially true with the Jazz & Swing styles. The T3 must have a Mega! Jazz Guitar that doesn't get substituted in the S910. Workaround: Use the Mega!SolidChord guitar in the S910, turn down the treble, turn up the bass, and turn it down a tad. This sounds perfect.

I got a lot of T3 styles now that sound fantastic! Unfortunately, many voices are missing from the OTS.

Why Steve would even discuss something apparently illegal is beyond me...

Look, Steve, if you are reading this, can I suggest a change to your legal department? Why not amend the clause to make it illegal to use the T3 styles in anything OTHER than a Yamaha product? You are penalizing your own customers, when all you REALLY want to do is restrict them to other manufacturers' customers.

Not that they translate that well any more, with all the Mega information stripped out...
