What is audio style pack?

[melokeyz]

Dear Valuable Friends,

I just noticed a list of downloadable audio style packs for different genres when I came across Yamaha website.
Would you be kind to tell me what are they exactly? and how they differ from the usual premium style packs?

Thx

Genos adds better drums and a new "random" algorithm that for the same note, the same velocity, provides slightly different sounds. On Genos, drums in a style, played "with a usual midi sequence way" are therefore far more natural than the results obtained with Tyros family.

To provide better drums, Tyros 5 added "audio styles" feature, so full and true drum samples (no midi sequence).

Soundphase, thanks for the awesome reply.

They just caught my attention that they are being offered for free download. I will definitely try them out.
Are they installed as usual as the normal expansion pack?
