What arranger brand in general has the best styles for your daily usage?

(Just interested in your opinions and personal preferences).
So please add your top 5 and reasonings ...
Here are mine

1. Ketron
2. yamaha
3 Roland
4 korg
And then there is a long stretch of nothing
5 Casio/wersi

I used to love general music and technics styles, but they are no longer, which still makes me a little sad

Well, since I'm using only one arranger, which is a Yamaha Tyros4, it's pretty much going to be Yamaha styles.

However, what I use for my tunes are basically heavily edited, and, for the most part, they are made up of parts from styles from both new and older Yamaha keyboards, and also bits from a few Yamaha Premium and MidiSpot styles as well.

I tried using parts from conversions of Korg and Roland (and a few Casio) styles but, for the most part, they didn't really work that well for my purposes.

Some of my favorite go to styles are conversions, and deeply edited smile

I use a Roland G70, and many onboard styles are useable for me, but I have favorites, from Korg(20 plus), Technics(6-8), and maybe one or two from Yamaha..

I like Ketron styles but they don't convert well..

Yamaha conversions are poor at best...and I don't like many Yamaha styles to start...actually there are a lot of useless styles. grin

Technics "jazz" styles are really nice on the G70..using the sounds from Roland they are way better than Technic sounds..

I have to say the Korg conversions are also better on the Roland G70 than on the Korg..I think drums and some other sounds are much better on the G70..

I should mention Roland styles don't convert well to Yamaha either...the common factor is Yamaha.. smile
