How does the styles sound settings work?

OK, let's say I load a few Yamaha styles....and I select one to play.
Do I have the OTS settings for 4 sounds? OR STS like on Korg?
Do they change with the style section (intro, A,B, C, D,) ?

Next question,
Do I have 8 or more performances I can program, like on a PSR S-950 or Tyros?

I read the manual, but all that is not clear to me.

I guess my question really is..do I have to set everything up myself when it comes to musical content?

I am used to how Yamaha and Korg does all this.

Does vA2 use the styles sound settings for RH or do you have to do all that yourself?

A Tutorial in English would be most helpful...I watched this one...but didn't get much from it

In vArranger, you can SAVE a SOUND, it means that you can set up to 5 instruments layers, set the volumes, fx, pan, ranges, etc...  and then SAVE this MULTI sound.

You can drag and drop up to 20 of this MUTLI SOUNDS in the MY SOUNDS bar

You can have a different MY SOUNDS bar for every song (style)

You can LINK the variations A B C D to the MY SOUNDS 1 2 3 4

For now, vArranger does not display the OTS of the Yamaha styles. You decide which sound you want to use with the song.

But I will probably do it later...

Dan,
OK, that helps make it easy to understand how all this works

Maybe you have played Yamaha or Korg arranger?
The STS or OTS are setup to go with the style and usually are very well done, and good choices for the style.
However sometimes we need to change the sounds to suit a particular song.

Sound like the Va2 is very flexable...but you need to set up the sounds yourself. Good & Bad for me as I am not a very good arranger/musician.
Thanks,

Yes, I have the OTS of Yamaha styles decoded, but not yet released

lee

Dan,
that sounds good...at least it gives a place to start, even though we may want to change the STS (sounds) in each section of the style (intro, a,b,c,d,endings etc)
I think most styles OTS and STS (Yamaha, Korg) were pretty good, so that would be a nice update to have those.
Thanks,
