Topic: Musicians that created factory styles

[kampot]

I always wonder which great minds created the styles for arrangers keyboards.
How come no one knows the amazing people that create styles for Korg, Roland, Yamaha, Ketron ?
How come there are no interviews of them, and they’re not even credit by the companies ?
Why are they kept so secret ? I would be so thrilled to read or watch  an interview with atleast one of them.
 I keep googling and googling and cannot find anything, not a single clue.
I also asked this question on SynthZone forums, one user said there are interviews with those great people in keyboard magazines, but doesn’t share their names or links or those interviews.

I’ve often wondered the same thing.  And, who makes the final decisions about which styles to put on a new arranger?  How many styles total?  Which categories get more or less?  What to include and what to leave off for a later update?  The Band In A Box Forum has a place, where users can request new, specific styles----even encourages such.  Wonder if Yamaha would ever listen and respond to such requests?

Most companies have there own team of style designers and are the only ones allowed to use the special programmes needed for this. Of course different company's have there own formats to work to. I often think some of Korgs styles sound very similar to Yamaha styles and vice versa.
