Hi Bud,
thank you.
I actually have EMC's Style conversion program ( have had them for all my different keyboards over the years since the early 90's,) but personally I don't think it does quite as good a job as recreating a style from an actual midifile version. It's a fantastic program when you don't have access to the original keyboard the style comes from, but when I do, I prefer the seq to style method.( far more time consuming , though)
The style conversions usually only give you 2 of 3 yamaha's intro's & endings. It's either intro & ending 1 & 2 or 1 & 3 ( can't remember which) Intro 1 is usually only a drum solo, whereas 2 & 3 have more instruments , so they sound fuller & far more useable. To date I've only been experimenting with intro's & endings , but on a few of the styles I tried, I also noticed the minor version of the intro's & endings sometimes didn't sound quite right. Also I don't think you get all of yamahas fill ins using style convert.

I'm probably just plain over fussy, that's why I don't get many styles done. My biggest problem is I really enjoy experimenting, trying to get the best result from minium effort. ( I wish, haahaa)

I'm trying to limit myself to styles that I've actually got a use for, rather than convert or recreate them just for the sake of it.

I was having trouble finding a waltz that I really liked for South Pacific's
"This Nearly Was Mine" that's why I decided to try and recreate ( convert one).

Anyway it's now all but finished, maybe still needs a bit of fine tuning on the user drum set.

best wishes
Rikki
