Has anyone had any experience with EMC in converting KN7000 styles to another keyboard ? I have a Roland G70, as well as the KN7000 and have several hundred custom styles I would like to convert, but I don't want to waste my money. Minor tweeking is expected. The website states that the style must reside in composer to properly convert.

Hello Bernie,

I have a Converter Disk that came with my KN7000 and give below details of the listed possible conversions that can be made:-

GEM-WX2.CNV
KORG.CNV
ROLAND.CNV
SOLTON.CNV
TECHNICS.CNV
GEM-WS3.CNV

I have successfully converted styles from the Roland E86 to the Technics and whilst some do not sound quite the same as their original settings (for obvious reasons) all
are very acceptable, particularly the Country styles.

If you have one of these Floppy Disks, try it out.

Hi Audrey,
Thanks for the reply, but I want to go the other way; from Technics to Roland.

Bernie

Hi Bernie
Yes you'd have to transfer the custom styles to composer bank A first so that you can satisfactorily transfer them to your computer and have them be recognised by EMC Styleworks. Next point is what format style file does the Roland G70 work with...STL...STH or other?
I've converted many style files using EMC Styleworks over recent years.

Roland is STL. Not up on composer, will have to read up on how to do it. I know that they are in "memory", not "custom". Some employ 4 var(ok), and up to 8 pm's. That means I will convert the var, but will have to construct my own equivolent of the pm's. The KN is so cool this way.

Thanks, I have e-mailed Klaus. I have the EMC Korg version, purchased in 2007 when I had my PA-800. I told him the situation, and asked if I could get an upgrade price on Universal.

How do I make sure a style is in Coposer A to send to pc ? I guess batch conversion is out, eh ? I have the styles on SD and backed up in pc.

'I know that they are in "memory", not "custom".'
They are not custom styles now therefore although they may have been at one time.
If there are Custom Styles you wish to save to floppy disk and take to your computer the process is as follows...
Program Menus - Composer - Custom style copy - get 'direction' right - select the custom style by name you want to transfer on the L/H side of the screen - select Memory bank 'A' on R/H side of screen - click OK - select the memory load button in the rhythm group - save to floppy disk and waltz across the room to your computer and load from floppy using Windows Explorer into somewhere on your hard drive where you can subsequently locate it...
Now, given that you own a copy of EMC Styleworks Universal you are in a position to convert that Technics style file to a Roland STL style file.
EMC Styleworks costs around 500 dollars to buy from Klaus Grosser. Very nice man!

Custom Styles is a Technics jargon term for style files prepared and made available in a particular format that end up in the Custom style button area in the rhythm group of buttons.
custom-made styles for particular songs is a different thing altogether and is the usual meaning of the phrase custom-made which means made specifically to enable the performance of a particular song. Files of this nature when loaded either from SD Card or floppy disk will almost certainly end up being found when you depress the Memory Load button in the Rhythm Group of buttons.
Hoped all this helps, Bernie...

Thank you for the clarification. I have Americana disks that require loading into the custom area. These are not of this nature,--so how do I go about preparing regular files for EMC conversion,ie,Composer A ?

Sorry to be obtuse, old chap. I do appreciate your help.
