I don't know the opinion of the majority, but I didn't like the organization of SX styles in just 9 categories. I did not like the extinction of the Ballad and Country categories, I think these two categories are traditional, in the world of arranger keyboards and could not be extinguished. I added some folders based on Genos and others created according to my own experience, intuition and need.
Boa noite, Enildo!
I joined this forum a few days ago, although having visited it several times in the past. I used to participate at Yahoo's psr-styles-group, which went south after Yahoo ceased their forum support.
I got me an SX900 late last year and I'm sure you have a lot of company in disliking the SX styles organization. In my introductory post I mentioned my annoyance with this drawback.
To overcome it, I also spent several weeks trying to classify the internal styles into meaningful categories. However, I used a different approach, defining categories related to the time signature and primary feel of the styles, and putting the results into a spreadsheet to be sorted and filtered at will. This way, however cryptic or misleading a Style name can be and whatever context it comes from, it can be found easily by its "nature" rather than by name. "ChristmasWaltz", for instance, for me is under 3Beat, "SecretService" under 8Beat, "YoungFox" under Dance, "HelloShuffle" is 12Beat and so on. I'm attaching here again the spreadsheet I constructed, for illustration and possible discussion, with you or anyone who cares to.
You went a step further, in actually copying your organized styles into User folders. Bright idea! I shall think of combining my approach with yours, so I wouldn't need to consult the spreadsheet when looking for a style. A shortcoming of User styles on is not having their default Tempo displayed onscreen, though. Sometimes that info is useful.
Abraço -- José
