Hi Alec,
thank you I'll check my version ( maybe I'm due for an update). Intro 1 really is a bit of a joke, but 2 & 3 are usually quite good. I still have to overcome the problem of the minor Intro's & Endings though. Sometimes they sound out of tune possibly because the notes aren't converting correctly to minor key.

I've actually converted a few just "Intro's & Endings ". I've noticed that they could actually be used with our kn styles ie replace a kn intro/ending with a psr intro / ending. Gives a bit more variety to the songs. Instead of hearing the same intro over and over again for a variety of songs that use the same style.

I'm actually finding it easier to record the styles as a c maj midifile and at the end I record the intro's & endings into cmin as well as cmaj.

It only takes me a couple of minutes to record the actual style as I'm doing it in steptime via xg works sequencer.
The one thing I didn't realize was that xg drums are not 100% compatible with gm drums (and our nx drums), so now I'm trying to work out the best & easist way to handle the drum situation. I started by transposing the drums that didn't match ( using the note shift function in the kn7 sequencer), but still had the problem of differing drum volumes ( some play louder/softer than the kn) , so then I decided to edit the kn's user drum set to try and match it a bit closer to the xg. That seems to be working better.

On the whole , it doesn't take all that much time to actually record the midifile (yammi) and use the seq to style function to create the style (kn). Most of my time is spent on the fine tuning of the style ( drums being my biggest hassle, I'm obviously not a drummer at heart (haahaa)

I'll definetly check my EMC style convert program though, it may be a function I overlooked. The other feature I really miss, is that it used to allow you to turn a style into a midifle for editing on an external sequencer, now it doesn't seem to do it (maybe I overlooked that feature , too??)


Thank you Alec.

best wishes
