Holy Crap! I don't know if anyone else has picked up on this one with their PSR's, but I just realized it. I was playing around with some styles on my PSR and I was playing with the "Hip Hop" style. 10 seconds into this style I realized that the drum kit for that preset style WAS NOT a preset drum kit on the panel voices.. It was a different kit. There are a few intruments such as the snare, hi-hats, and bass drum that are changed. I know that the majority of the styles in my PSR-550 use the "Style Kit" for the drums with the exception of a few, but the Hip Hop stlye is the only one where the factory style kit is different within the style as compared to the preset kit on the panel voices. I was quite pleased with this kit too.. It adds a little more spice to Hip Hop drum tracks. The snare and hi-hat are tuned for that style.. Of course as usual there is always a catch. This particular kit CAN NOT be selected from the panel voices.. If you want to use this kit you have to select the Hip Hop style and edit it in order to use the kit on a style from scratch. Also this only gives you two measures as well. Has anyone else noticed this with their PSR's??????

Actually I've got tons of hip hop work. When I was in college I used my PSR and a friends sampler to make hip hop beats for a lot of students. They started to call me Squeakybeats I haven't posted any of those here because I've noticed that isn't really a common style of music among the members, or should I say a common style of music that's posted here on the Zone.

Yeah I've got full songs... I'll have to check into my older disks. Of course they're without the lyrics. I would use my PSR to make the backing tracks, and I had another friend that had a Roland recorder (can't remember the model number).. We would drop the tracks form the PSR down to it--of course this was after the tracks were run through a sampler so that decent effects could be added. After that we'd drop the sampled tracks down on the Roland and then went back in for vocals and little sound effects here and there. The biggest problem is that the PRS's really don't have any kits other than the one I found last night that are decent for hip hop. The kits on my PSR-550 are quite dated. I'd often use the effects from the sampler to spice things up.. For example we'd sample the drum beat by itself, and would apply an effect to it alone.. Then we'd sample the other tracks.., some indvidual and some together.. Then we'd sync the samples by BPM.. It worked out pretty well.. The Hip Hop songs I did don't sound anything like the finished recording because we used external gear to add effects.

Starkeeper, I find that out by playing with the styles. I can however tell you that if you want to record a style that has four measures, the very first style is 4 measures long. The majority are 2 bars, but there are a few that are 4. You can go to SVP world and get a temp. for style recording that's 8 bars Squeak
