I would like to request for styles with a Middle Eastern, Indian and Far Eastern flavour to them so that western worship songs can be given these flavours to make those in the Churches from these backgrounds feel more at home.


GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!
+1 to support the idea but ...

Does PG Music offer any Middle Eastern, Indian or Far Eastern RealTrack instruments? Perhaps some audio drum loops or RealDrums but that's all I can think of and I'm not sure about that. Also, some Eastern instruments are microtonal and are constrained by the Western model of twelve notes per octave.

For these reasons some arranger keyboards offer Eastern and Western model variations where the Eastern model includes Eastern and Indian instruments, microtonal capability and include Eastern styles.

I believe PG Music must offer Eastern instrument RealTracks at the same time, or prior to, offering Middle Eastern, Indian or Far Eastern Styles.
Nice suggestion! smile I'd personally love to see this too. I'll go ahead and add it to the wishlist - if you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you sent in to sales@pgmusic.com some youtube examples of exactly what you mean by those genres and styles so we know what people are looking for. We can then add those links into wishlist reports for the developers to review so they know what to draw inspiration from.

Thanks!
I can't speak for Will E, but it just so happens I have been wrapped up in Myanmar (Burma) worship music for some time now. It started about 4-5 years ago with Myanmar choir music going viral on You Tube. My guess is that it was a little too upbeat for the authorities. Whatever, the videos were taken down. Now, they are back in a different form, the members now adults. In the meanwhile, there has been another military junta, basically not unusual in Burma.
This request might not be as hard to fill as we might think. What they are doing appears to be a fusion of 1950's country music with contemporary Praise & Worship.
Search You Tube for "EBC Central Choir," "The Seraphim Choir," and "The Myanmar Choir."
Another fruitful genre is the solo vocalists. Somewhere in between is Akuk. She is popular with locals and visitors and could be called "the old hand" at it.

Several of them make the international gospel circuit and may be seen in San Francisco.
