Close to one hundred percent style playing.
I use a couple of midi files, and a couple of CDG files, a total of maybe once a week.

One of the features of the E80 which I like to use is the

Minus one function that lets you mute the melody line of a SMF

and play it yourself,great for learning a new song.Here Ive used

it with a SMF of The Lost Chord using the church organ.

I'm like DonM. Almost 100% styles. I consider bass drums and one voice from a style still a style.

Hi Korg
Korg can. Found a way of doing it back on my pa800 a few years back. Was experimenting on how to do medleys within a single style. Different time signatures, different tempos.

Guilty, styles which I will never have any use for, but, just in case. Haha

I use mostly styles, a couple of midi's and MP3 too. My wife absolutely hates midi files and karaoke tracks. She likes to be able to stretch sections, or sometimes just have the drums play as she loves to dance and get people up and dancing or even vamp as we figure out what we're going to do next ... . We are always playing with different combinations of musicians, some of them can really stretch a solo very nicely. I'd hate to cut them off, just because the track is about to end! I know there's ways of manipulating midi files and audio tracks, but I haven't gotten around to learning that yet, as styles work for most of the stuff we do anyways.

In the last ~10-12 years, I have primarily used styles. Years ago, I played keys in a 6 pc band so the "styles" were played the rhythm section of the band! :-) But these days, it's mostly with styles (often modified in various ways).

When I play my organ (Hauptwerk 'virtual organ'), I play just organ, manuals and pedals. I miss having pedals for certain kinds of non-style-oriented music on keyboards, but I kind of grew tired of carrying pedals and setting them up with everything else. So ~90% of my keyboard playing is with Styles, and ~10% is with no style (just playing piano, or strings, or orchestral, etc.). I have tried "for fun" playing along to MP3s and MIDI files, but generally it's not for me I find ...

My last set of organ pedals and bench weighed more than my keyboard, stand, stool AND PA system I use now! And that doesn't include the massive organ and Leslie and heavy PA I used back then.
I remember making a road trip to south Louisiana and barely having room for a suitcase after loading all my gear into my full-size 76 Chevy van.
As I recall, that $20,000 organ had maybe a dozen styles.

Not just keyboards but also organs have come a long way since then
Just look at the Wersi OAX1, almost as portable as a keyboard these days

Actually this might be the time for many to move back to dual manuall organs..
Wersi or Bohm?
Or a Crumar, viscount, Nord with a Ketron SD series arranger module..


The organs are getting better and better general
Purpose styles.
