Most of voicings I have had problems with are with some of the drum kits (cowbell instead of rimshot, etc.). All of these files are optimized for a particular arranger (PSR-1500,PSR-3000, Tyros, etc.), so the voicings may or may not work well on the MM6/8. You can find PSR style files to download at or. The BIAB files are not the correct format and generate an error message on the MM6/8. The MM6/8 can import the style (.sty) files from the PSR Arranger Workstations into pattern slot 169, but they can not use style (.sty) files from Band-In-A-Box. Many of us use Band-In-A-Box as a source for remix loops for the MO6/8 (as well as the XS), but these are just standard midi files. Pattern files on the MM6/8 are very similar to the style files on the PSR Arranger Workstations. Pattern files on the MO6/8 are midi remix loops that can be chained together in the workstation’s sequencer to form songs. The pattern files on the MO6/8 are totally different from the pattern files on the MM6/8.

I think the PG Music (Band-In-A-Box) folks and the Yamaha rep you were talking to were confusing the MM6/8 with the MO6/8.

Let me see if I can help Maria with this.
