Hi,
Is there a list or an overview, which Arp or Performance no. would fit the best to play a specific (cover) song?
So this would be very convenient to play cover songs. E.g. Arp no. xy is near to Thriller or Performance no. xy is the best sound for Jump.
Or are there third parties , which offer those sound/arp sets.?
There are corresponding offerings for Styles for the Yamaha Tyros keyboards.
Here's another thread that covers a couple of ways to realize Jump:

Yes, there are 3rd parties that offer cover tune collections. You don't have to spend much time searching to find youtube video demos of this kind of stuff.
That said - built into many presets are pre-made cover tune Performances. Due to copyright/trademark/etc the names of the Performances are obscured. You have to play detective somewhat if going that route.
Also - don't forget Soundmondo. A cloud-based service where you can grab other keyboardists' Performances and often there are cover tunes available there. Perhaps easier to find than inside the presets.
Just as a few examples - I searched and found:
BS*Thrill MJ /Brs by Katsunori UJIIE
Described as:
Michael Jackson " Thriller " style Analog Synth Bass.
Splitted G#2~C4 is Synth Strings and C#4- are Brass section.
... UJIIE is a killer player and product demonstrator (search for his youtube videos). Some of Yamaha's presets were created by UJIIE. So this is bound to be a quality Performance.
... there are a few more "Thriller" Performances on Soundmondo for MODX/Montage.
And there's a whole flock of Jump Performances in Soundmondo for MODX/Montage.
