Thank you for the styles Gary and nice job with that song. Cal

Glad I could help, Cal. And thanks for the compliments on the song submission.

All the best,

Gary

Went thru most of the song specific styles and some I had already for some reason, but there were some real gems in there also to choose.
Song specific styles is what I was talking about when you can customize your intros/ending, & variations to a certain song...all the tools and features are already in the kbs....you just have to have the talent and know how to pursue it for your needs.

That's the beauty of using Style Creator, the built in program Yamaha uses in all it's arranger keyboards. Once you learn how to use it, which requires a fair amount of time, you will be absolutely astounded as to how easy it is to create some high quality style files.

All the best,

Gary

Nice job on the tune, Gary ...

And while I've only scratched the surface, creating your own styles on the KORG is pretty easy also - if I can do it, ANYONE can ... swap anything you want from one style to another, overlay tracks, create new ones, etc. ...

This is one of the reasons i love the yamaha forums..
People love to help and share their creations...

Tony, the only Korg I ever owned was an I-3, and it was pretty bare bones, but sounded pretty good at the time. Don Mason tells me that creating styles with it is a snap. The I-3 did have any software features like this available. Thanks for listening to my song, and those kind words.

Bachus, I agree with your comments about the Yamaha, online community. There are a lot of nice folks on those forums and they freely share their experiences and creations.

All the best,

Gary

lets face it the minute you even just change the OTS sound and save the style it becomes "your custom" style .....But, when you dig in deep and re-record let's say the bass line, drum beats, add new parts, filters, EQ, etc, eg: brass stabs, string layers, etc, it becomes
"YOUR GREAT CUSTOM UNIQUE STYLE"

Yep! That's the way I look at it as well, Donny.

Yes gary example many Yamaha 4th variations BIG BAND styles don't have a walking bass line which I love as a singer and player, its most times a jumping bass line,.....this is where re-recording or even pasting a style part bass line from lets say Var2 or 3 comes in very handy to customize the style...
