Opinion: When a style is converted for another keyboard it is then played by a different sound engine. You can try changing instruments, but that falls short. After all is said and done you have something like the original. Without putting the time to make the needed changes it becomes nothing like the original.
Why not spend the time working on the files in your keyboard? The results would be that it now sounds the way you think it should sound. Changing instruments, effects, volumes – and adding what you feel is missing should make a guy happy with the results. Now if you spend time using and or creating MultiPads, you really have something good.
The law: “Less is sometimes better”. Styles start busy and get grow with the variations. Listen to a band, there are times when the band backs off a bit which makes the return of busy desirable. Same goes for the volume of a band.
Yes i know would be better for first learn what all is inside the Pa4x , butt some styles are special for a person and want it to his keyboard , have some good results with Ssf1 styles , butt ghet stuck with Ssf2 styles , the only good conversion is drum section, butt others sections are wheard transposed en not to listening. dont figered out how to acc 1 to 5 get transposed in the Pa4x. hope some results later on , on this forum.
Hi. I don't know if this worked out at all. So far I don't have any PA4X to test it...... Just did a quick conversion with EMC, but latest version has a bug when convert song to styles, and it may be the case in style to style as well. The zip contain both .set and .sty.

It's been a long time since this question, and I apologize for forgetting about it. I did try it and it works, to a degree, at least some of them do. Some styles that have extension .sty will convert. It's generally necessary to change some style parts. Styles with other extensions don't seem to work so well, but I've only tried about six. All I did was change the extensions to .mid and run them through the style converter bot. Only takes a few seconds, but then there might be extensive editing necessary if they work at all.
Hi, won’t necessarily work changing .sty to mid. Did work on the old ones when the guitar parts were simple . Some of the new guitar tracks are no longer based on maj7th chords, makes it hard . Also you end up with mega voice problems on new styles.
Used to convert all my psr 1500 styles ( and prior models), changing .sty to mid. Discovered it didn’t necessarily work with my psrs950 styles, mainly due to the weird guitar tracks. It would convert it to mid, but the guitar tracks were wrong.
I then started recording the midi files required on the psr itself ( ie intro’s /endings in cmaj and minor, and the variations /fills in cmaj7 ) imported them into the korg as midifiles. Lot of work.
I tried the bot the other day and had no luck, came up with error , not suitable. It was one of the newer type styles.

1. Convert the Style from SFF2 to SFF1 format. 2. Next use Jorgens Old Format Converter to remove the Mega voices in the style. 3. Only now convert it to Korg.
I did it for you. Cannot test - feel free to try it.
