Hi
Stop !!!!
Don't ever edit a style in a normal sequencer software.
A style file has Markers and the other previous mentioned stuff. But most of all:
A style file has a section called CASM at last in the file. This section holds non-MIDI data used to control the sound of style at the keyboard.
Most if not all normal sequencer software doen NOT read non-MIDI data and throws the CASM section away like garbage. This means saving a style file in a sequencer software destroys valuable control information.
Have you ever wondered why a renamed .sty to .mid file sound strange compared to the sound at the keyboard?
Answer: The sequencer or the midi file player you use for play back does not understand non-MIDI data.
What to do:
Get CasmEdit from Evgeny Osenenko. Split the style file in a midi part and a CASM part. Edit the midi part in your favourite sequencer software and then join the edited midi part with the CASM part.
CASM data can be edited too. But this sure is a very long story to tell here.
