DannyUK Senior Member Registered: 12/09/99 Posts: 1130	Not sure if this has ever been talked about but over the years with hundreds of thousands of styles across many brands, have you ever come across a style/pattern/rhythm that you've felt is a technical masterpiece ? So hard to choose as there's so many but for me it's the following style: Keyboard: Tyros 4 Genre: Ballad/Chillout Style Name: Play4Sofa I am completely mesmerised by this style, the complexity of the arrangements and chord sequences. The Pad sounds rival anything I've heard anywhere from cafe del mar. It's a stunningly put together style. What's yours ?

ianmcnll Senior Member Registered: 07/27/05 Posts: 10606 Loc: Cape Breton Island, Canada	Great topic Danny. My favorite unedited factory style is ModernJazzBallad from the CVP-509 (also on CVP-609) and played on my Tyros4. The style, from the Swing/Jazz genre, is very simple (3 parts) with only Drums (Live!Drums-Brush-Kit), Bass (Mega-Voice Acoustic Bass), and Jazz Guitar(Mega-Voice Jazz Guitar). Each Variation has been programmed over 8-bars and Variations C and D are in double time, and the whole style sounds incredibly real with terrific bass lines and guitar strums. I used it to play Somewhere Over The Rainbow which I uploaded here some time ago. I also agree with DannyUK about the Play4Sofa style being a masterpiece...I have also used it as basis for many other styles.

Ian Ian ... that ModernJazzBallad style sounds like the perfect style for me ... I only wish there was a similar style on my KORG Pa900, with a double time variation ... _________________________ t.

I only wish there was a similar style on my KORG Pa900, with a double time variation ... There is a style on the Yamaha 9000Pro that does basically the same thing...it's simply called Jazz Ballad 1 (it's at 84 bpm) and since it doesn't use any mega-voices, it shouldn't be too difficult to convert to Korg, if anyone here does conversions. It's not quite as good as the ModernJazzBallad I mentioned above, but it's still very usable and it does have the double time on Variations C and D. I can send the original from the 9Kpro to you if you wish. Ian _________________________ Yamaha Tyros4, Yamaha MS-60S Powered Monitors(2), Yamaha CS-01, Yamaha TQ-5, Yamaha PSR-S775.

Tony, check the email address that's in your profile...I've sent both the style from the 9000Pro and the style (unedited) I use from the CVP-509 along with the style track breakdowns. I hope you can get them converted, and, more importantly, they will be useful.
