I sent a few Roland STL styles to Rikki and she converted them with EMC to Korg styles that really sound great on her PA800. I was going to send the following privately, but I thought I would do it here so that anyone who had a comment could do so.

Hi Rikki...
Thanks for your efforts so far with this style conversion situation.
...random thoughts...
I Googled EMC and found that it was the StyleWorks that I read about periodically here.
The program looks complicated (but perhaps it just LOOKS complicated). How long have you been working with it?
From the MP3 you sent me, I'm assuming you were able to convert the basic style...AND...the intro, ending, and fills.
I was reading bits and pieces about StyleWorks. Is Korg the company who puts it out for their keyboards? Or, does just a stripped version come with the Korg keyboard purchase?
I read that the StyleWorks is NOT successful in converting ALL Roland files...that it's hit and miss??? What do you think?
How long did it take you to convert the "big band" I sent you?
Do you think if I bought this PA2 that I could convert a large amount of my Roland styles and would they be complete conversions (with intro's, endings's and fills) that I can use on the Korg?
That style sounded dynamite on your PA800.
Lucky
