Hi Spalding ,
they haven't neccesarily replaced all the guitar tracks in a style with a "guitar mode" style track ie guitar bossa has 2 maybe 3 guitar tracks, only one uses guitar mode.
I'll see if maybe I can save a midifile of the original guitar track from the style, you'll see what I mean.
I'm wondering if the 1.51 upgrade which gave us guitar mode may also be the reason why EMC XT currently doesn't appear to be able to read my PA800 styles.
I remember in one of the other posts you mentioned PA1X can read PA800 styles, can it definately read styles that have been created on a PA800 with the 1.51 operating system?? I had a couple of members on one of the forums write that my styles wouldn't load into their PA1X. Maybe they had a wrong operating system running. I couldn't help as I don't know how the PA1X upgrades versions work.
best wishes
Rikki

Guitar mode is used in an attempt to simulate a real player, not replace one. The factory styles for the most part use real musicians playing real instruments so that every strum, every slide every note bend and every muted or ghost note sounds accurate. No matter how good you could reacreate that sound using guitar mode it taake 10 times as long to do it and would not make sense to program a factory sound that way especially as Korg had hired professional musicians to do the other factory styles.They may have added additional events to beef up the sound but i would be extremely surprised if Korg or anyone for that matter used guitar mode over using a real guitarist musician.
