Hello everyone:

I have a question for you, what kind of styles would you consider buying? as a user, I find myself using certain styles more, but, it get's a little old after a while, and I certainly would like more variety on these type.
Juan Miguel and I started making now NON-ETHNIC styles, we are finishing a Fast Foxtrot, a Slow Waltz, and we need to make more of.......that is where you came in, please, let me know what kind or gender you think is needed, the more detail you give me, more appreciate it is (example: Medium Foxtrot(around 140 bpm), Polka 120s, Slow....etc).

Since Yamaha Soft and Midi Spot sell the SAME styles, we want to offer a fresh and a different alternative.
We are trying to stay away from "Song styles" that kind of confine the style to just one song, we want to make more "generic" styles, so the player can use it in different songs.
Thank you.

Country Waltzes are almost non-existent.
They need to have the Bass line so that the V isn't sounding when it should be I. In other words, the alternating I-V bass line that many of the CW Waltzes use fits very few songs.

Thank you Donny, Gary and Don M.

Please, do not be bashful, we need to fill several pages of styles(on the keyboard), so,....this barely makes one page, I think we will be making for what I see, several Country Waltzes besides the other styles mention, but, tell me of more styles, tempos, or like West Coast Swing, or give me some song titles so I can get the idea of what is needed.
Thanks.

Hi Manuel,

I would totally love to see a collection featuring 'BRUSH DRUM' patterns styles to cover different music genres, especially jazz and country swing. Brush swirel, tap, fills, etc and with different bass line patterns (walking, I-V, etc), and tempos: ballads, med & uptempo swing, waltzes, & shuffle.

Here Are some downloadable examples to play:

Country Brush Loops III

Country Brush Loops V

Jazz Brushes

Another collection I'd love to see is a style set dedicated to tasty 'pedal steel guitar' fills, and suitable for Country and Hawaiian tunes.

Nashville Wire
Steel Loops

Thanks for considering my request,

Scott

Rock, rock and more rock. I don't mean old timey rock and roll, I mean contemporary rock. And including southern rock.

There are a few Latin styles that I need:

Modern Bachata (Adventura style)
Raggaeton
Modern Merengue (Suavemente, Mi Nina Bonita)
Salsa (both 3/2 and 2/3 clave variations)
Cumbia Mexicana (Grupo Limite)
Cumbia Moderna (Kumbia Kings)
A traditional 50's Cuban cha cha cha ( no drum set, and quater note cha cha bell, guiero, and congas)

Trio Style (like Los Ponchos with some lite maracas and bongos)

50's 12/8 (Earth Angel, Donna, Put your head on my shoulders)

Country 12/8 (Crazy)

Swing with a simple quarter note guitar (Freddie Green/Count Bassie)

I agree with Scott Lee about jazz brush styles!

How about a bossanova brush/stick?

Also I haven't heard a really good 60's Jobim style bossa.
