Hey Bart

Personally (I repeat "personally") I would not waste money or risk 3rd party styles these days.

In the past there have been several of these offerings and with problems (like the older Gigastyles) - I find that the 600 styles that come with the PA4X plus the additional 500+ that Korg give us for free plus all the "previous model styles" (PA-series and i-series) more than adequately covers everything for me. The ability to have around 1900 styles ready to play without any "loading" is also great (580+ factory, 1280 user/favorite/direct) - this means that one can afford to have many tailored styles - and then again SONGBOOK gives you the ability to have one single style (never edited) with any enhancements you want in many SONGBOOK entries.
On top of all of that, there's KAOSS - the world opens up even more!!

It is also very easy to take any style and by just changing tempo or ACC sounds for example, one can get some very different sounding styles all from the same original style.

This possibly may not help much but if you do buy 3rd party styles please be aware that some issues may crop up.

Cheers

Pete Very Happy

I recently purchased 2 "golden style packs for my pa4x. of the 16 maybe 4 were usable IMO. The song styles maybe better but what I got was not the quality I expected.

I would imagine that some of these 3rd party styles are OK however PLEASE be careful as there has always been some "quick-money" makers offering styles that are often hacks from other keyboards and older models.

P.S.

No that is true.

No sharing files on the public forum.

I was just wondering if there are any good companies that sell good styles or song styles.

Cheers,
Bart
