I would first suggest that you click on the little music note in the right hand upper corner. Then choose Setup.
In Setup, I have mine set to associate all file types. It plays the style files.
Your computer may have another program selected to play style files. You may need to find that and change it.
I would suggest that you right-click on a style file, select "Open With" and then "Choose Program". Then, although sometimes it is slow to open, you will be able to associate the style files with VanBasco. Be sure to check the box that says "always use this program".
I'm assuming you are running Windows!

Technics Player: Mine plays them without renaming to .mid.

Ah... interesting. I have them associated to open up in EMC, so had to rename for the few experiments I did in midi players. Good point.

Or you can just right-click the style file and pick Open With and select VanBasco. I think it shows up as vmidi.

Thanks for the tips. I found out you could also click on a midi file from explorer and drag and drop it onto Vanbasco and it'll automatically open it.

I tried the styles provided with the EMC Styleworks demo downloaded earlier, this is why i couldn't open them. I guess any styles coming from Roland web site or Yamaha should work. Thanks
