Thanks Tony,
yes, unfortunately I don't think korgs work that way.

Hi Donny,
I actually play my styles that way too, start with v1 and work my way up.

In most instances I try to set my sts up with it's matching variation, even if I have to duplicate the style itself 2 of 3 times.

While I was playing around yesterday, with songbook, I did find a way of copying sts3 to vari 1.
Compromise was I ended up with sts 3 on vari 1 and vari 3, , my style started playing on vari 1 or I could have saved it to start on the other variations too.

So as I played thru.
V1 sts3 , v2 sts2, v3 sts3 , v4 sts 4.

My original style was still left in tact, only songbook was affected.

I still think the issue is that you have the style to kb set turned ON. The style is the conductor for switching STS sounds if it's on. Try turning it off, and see if you can get the result you want. Just a guess

Where is style to kb set on off?

Hi Donny
Above the auto fill button. It 's basically a replacement for the sts button. Set to flashing if you want sounds to change with variations. Would have been a deal breaker for me if this function didn't exist.

OK I got it Thanx Rikki will check it out.
